The wine is created as a tribute to the legendary racehorse Rachel Alexandra. The result is a wine with strength, grace and impressive balance – just like its inspiration.

California’s Anderson Valley is one of the most exciting areas in the US for Pinot Noir. The cool climate and maritime winds from the Pacific Ocean produce grapes with freshness and great aromatic complexity. The 2014 vintage succeeded in creating a wine with great concentration and a classic, elegant structure.

Champ de Rêves means “field of dreams” and the name fits this wine perfectly. Here they work with great respect for terroir and craftsmanship. The grapes are harvested with a focus on ripeness and balance, resulting in a wine with depth, silky texture and beautiful layers of fruit.

This Pinot Noir is an obvious choice for gastronomy. It is an excellent match for poultry, veal, mushroom dishes or light game dishes. At the same time, it’s a wine that can be enjoyed on its own in the glass, where its complexity really comes into its own.
