40 Years of Napa Valley Pedigree, Heritage and Fine Wines

Overview: Merryvale Vineyards captures Napa Valley’s heritage and terroir through a collection of handcrafted, elegant and expressive wines that showcase the vineyards and subregions of Napa Valley.

Merryvale was part of the early fabric of the Napa Valley wine industry and makes its home in the first winery built following the Repeal of Prohibition in 1933. It is only natural that a deep respect for Napa Valley land and fine winemaking tradition run through the brand.

Winemaking approach is focused on small lot winemaking with small fermenters, basket press and new French barriques. A talented viticulture team and support from winemaking consultant, Philippe Melka, round out Andrew Wright’s production team.

Region: Napa Valley is considered one of the premier wine regions in the world. Defined by mountain ranges and influenced by its proximity to the Pacific Ocean, the Napa Valley enjoys a dry Mediterranean climate perfectly suited to the growing of fine wine grapes.

The Schlatter family is committed to preserving the winery’s rich history without compromising their forwardlooking plans. Working closely with Winemaker, Andrew Wright, they are keeping a European influence on their winemaking style and philosophy, and preserving the historic winery and Cask Room for future generations to enjoy. Today the family owns just over 42 acres, The Profile Estate, a 25-acre hillside vineyard overlooking St. Helena, and two sites comprised of 17 acres on Mt. Veeder.

History: Located in the town of St. Helena, on the famous Highway 29, Merryvale Vineyards is part of the early fabric of the Napa Valley wine industry. This was the first winery built following the Repeal of Prohibition in 1933 and originally named Sunnyhill Winery, then rechristened to Sunny St. Helena Winery a short time later. An impressive roster of Napa Valley winemaking legends has been part of the winery. Cesare Mondavi was a partner in the 1930s and sons Peter and Robert Mondavi had their first winemaking experiences here. The Christian Brothers, then Bill Harlan and partners owned the property up until 1996 when the Schlatter family became sole proprietors.

Proprietary Cuvees - the pinnacle of Merryvale Family of Wines

“The Profile Collection is the culmination of our family’s uncompromising commitment to quality –a legacy of excellence in crafting wines of power, finesse, complexity and balance that stand the test of time.” Rene and Laurance

The Estate Vineyards: Overlooking the Napa Valley, east of St.Helena, the hillside Profile Estate Vineyard lies on an eastern ridge at almost one thousand feet of elevation. Planted in 1997 by David Abreu, Michel Rolland and then winemaker Bob Levy, the 25-acre vineyard is comprised of four different clones of Cabernet Sauvignon, along with two acres of Petit Verdot and one acre of Cabernet Franc. The steep slopes, rocky soils and volcanic ash bedrock make it a very challenging site to farm. The 50-acre, Napa Green Certified Stanly Ranch Estate Vineyard in Carneros is the source of Silhouette Chardonnay. The vineyard is farmed to same high standards as St. Helena Profile Estate property.

Viticulture/Farming: Estate vineyards with exceptional terroir, both vineyards are complex sites with a myriad of exposures, soils and growing conditions divided into small blocks based upon geology and topography. Certified Sustainable Napa Green Land and farmed to ensure that each block produces a distinct lot of wine that is unique, complete and representative of the individual terroir. Intense vine-byvine viticultural practices.

Winemaking: These two flagship wines are opulent and elegant, representing the very best of each vintage. They are hand-picked in the early morning, field, cluster and whole berry sorts. Innovative methods focused on small lot, artisanal winemaking.

California Rose that’s Ready for Anything

Overview: For the past fifteen years, the HOGWASH mission has been to produce a world class California rosé that’s fun, timeless, accessible, and ready for anything. Today HOGWASH Rosé is majority sourced from the Clarksville AVA and labelled under the California appellation. With a coral copper hues, floral aromas and citrus, berry savory notes, it is refreshing and appealing. Available in multiple formats, HOGWASH easily partners with an outdoors and adventure-oriented lifestyle. www.hogwashrose.com

Region: Located on the Sacramento River, the Clarksburg AVA is defined by the maritime influence of the Sacramento Delta. Fog and cool breezes from San Francisco Bay keep the Clarksburg area cooler than nearby Sacramento.

Story: The first vintage of this California Rosé was released in 2004 to accompany a summer grilling and charity pig roast in the fine city of Atlanta. Under the balmy Southern evening, the guest feedback was exceptionally positive as they washed down the hog, thus the wine was praised jokingly as ‘Hogwash’.

The name stuck, as did the sentiment that this wine was crafted in an unpretentious way to be enjoyed as an accompaniment to social occasions, delicious food, humorous friends and the great outdoors.

Masters of Sauvignon Blanc and Innovation!

Overview: The Giesen family relocated to New Zealand’s South Island from Germany in 1981 charmed by the natural beauty, climate and winegrowing possibilities. Today, 40 years later, Giesen is one of New Zealand’s top 10 wineries and their estate is comprised of 700+ acres and 13 unique vineyards spanning the breadth and diversity of Marlborough.

The three entrepreneurial brothers, Theo, Alex and Marcel, continue to innovate with their signature variety, Sauvignon Blanc and are the world’s first to introduce a zero alcohol Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc.

Region: Marlborough: New Zealand’s world-renowned Marlborough region is best known for its distinct Sauvignon Blanc. Located at the northeastern tip of the beautiful South Island, its bright sunshine, low rainfall, refreshingly cool-climate and diverse soils make it ideal for vibrant aromatic and distinct wines. The Wairau, Awatere and Southern Valleys are the preeminent subregions of Marlborough. The flagship vineyard, Clayvin, is Marlborough’s first hillside vineyard and is considered one of the region’s finest.

Hawkes Bay: Hawkes Bay wine region is located on the east coast of New Zealand’s North Island. The climate is maritime, notably warm and temperate, ideal for rich and flavorful wines, notably Chardonnay, Cabernet and Syrah.

Masters of Sauvignon Blanc: The Giesen brothers are passionate about exploring all angles of Sauvignon Blanc – a truly prolific endeavor. From the ever popular, fresh and vibrant stainless steel Estate Sauvignon Blanc, to explorations with French barriques, German fuders and granite tanks; from single vineyard studies to select vineyard blends; from 0% alcohol, low-alcohol and organic offerings to a heady late harvest botrytis, the Giesens have truly left no Sauvignon Blanc stone unturned.

Take the High Road

Overview: A unique Pinot Grigio project to showcase the extra vibrancy and freshness of Alto Adige’s most celebrated white. In 2016, Mark Giordano of Pacific Highway Wines worked with winemaker friends and colleagues in Italy to produce a bespoke top tier, modern Pinot Grigio from Italy’s most northern winegrowing areas. Aromatic and rich, but with more vibrancy and freshness. The Alta Via is one of Italy’s most beautiful hiking and walking trails, and the 25 - 60 year old vineyards for the partnership Pinot Grigio are located just below this famous trail - thus becoming the name of the project.

Region: Vigneti delle Dolomiti IGT is the official title of the Trentino-Alto Adige wine region, encompassing the DOC regions of Alto Adige, Trentino as well as a small section of the Veneto, all located in the heart of the Dolomites. Sub-alpine vineyards drape across steep hillsides, terraced mountain vineyards of quartz, limestone and volcanic soils. Alta Via Pinot Grigio is sourced from vineyards from both regions.

ALTA VIA PINOT GRIGIO Light green lusters run through the radiant straw-yellow color of this wine. Its aroma is rich in fruits, the most striking of which are pears and apples. An excellent balance gives this wine strength and structure. It is dry and smooth on the palate with a pleasant, mineral aftertaste. Enjoy on its own or pair with lighter fare such as fresh water fish, grilled vegetables and seasonal salads.

#1 Selling Rioja Gran Reserva in the World

Overview: Bodegas Faustino, one of the ‘First Families of Rioja’, was founded in 1861 by the Martinez family and is actively managed today by the 6th generation Martinez daughters. Faustino is one of the most recognized wineries for aging wines, not only in Spain, but around the world. The winery proudly produces and ages Spain’s largest collection of library Rioja Gran Reserva in the world dating back to 1955. Faustino has one of the largest barrel rooms in Rioja and Europe with 47,000 new oak barrels and 10 million bottles aging. Faustino I Gran Reserva is the #1 selling DOCa Rioja Gran Reserva in the USA and in the world.

Region: Rioja is Spain’s most important wine region and is best known for age-worthy wines made from Tempranillo and Garnacha. Located in the northwestern area of Spain, the Cantabrian Mountains provide a natural cooling effect and protection from the Atlantic influences. Rioja is a dry, temperate climate and is divided into three zones based on altitude and soil composition, from valley floor up to the foothills: Baja, Alta and Alavesa. Faustino is the largest vineyard land owner in Rioja with over 1,300 acres mostly in high altitude vineyards at Rioja Alavesa & Rioja Alta.

Label Story: The Faustino Label Since the 1950s, the Faustino label features a work by Dutch master artist, Rembrandt van Rijn. Painted in 1641, the portrait subject is a wealthy Dutch merchant, Nicolaes van Bambeeck – who made his fortune trading Spanish wool, spices and wine. Today the painting is displayed at The Royal Museum of Fine Arts of Belgium, in Brussels.

How did this come to be the Faustino label? In the 1950s, 3rd generation Julio Faustino Martínez was taking the reins and expanded the brand into international markets. The label update at this time featured his father’s first name –Faustino – and the Rembrandt portrait. Julio aimed to fuse the family’s two passions, wine and art, while paying tribute to his father Faustino Martínez Pérez de Albéniz.

Château Suau is a remarkable vineyard whose origin dates back to the 16th century. Former hunting lodge of the Duke of Epernon owes its name to Messire de Suau who owned it in 1687.

The chateau has been owned by the Bonnet family since 1986. Under Monique Bonnet’s leadership, Chateau Suau has undergone an organic conversion and is today one of the few wineries in the region to be certified organic. Alejandro Bulgheroni became the majority shareholder in 2014, while Monique Bonnet, and her American husband Tom Kenney, continue to run the day-to day. Consulting vigneron, Michel Rolland and his team bring their expertise to the vineyard and the cellar.

Live Joyously and Celebrate Life’s Everyday Moments

Overview: Le Grand Courtâge is a brand of French sparkling wines which offer an affordable luxury and personify the spirit of Joie de Vivre. Meaning ‘the Great Courtship’, Le Grand Courtâge symbolizes the courtship between French and American wine culture, grapes from different regions and the old and new world. Launched by American entrepreneur, Tawnya Falkner, Le Grand Courtage is now the top selling French sparkling wine brand in the $15 - $19.99 (Premium) category according to Nielsen.

Sourcing from across multiple French wine regions, and blending unique varietals, the wines are crafted and bottled in Nuits-Saint-Georges, Burgundy.

Vineyards: Tawnya Falkner tasted through the wine regions in France as she developed her blends for Le Grand Courtâge. She partnered with local growers in well-known regions of France and selected unique varietals to put a modern twist on a classic concept.

Le Grand Courtâge Blanc de Blancs Brut is a blend of Chardonnay, Colombard, Ugni Blanc and Chenin Blanc from Burgundy, Loire Valley and Languedoc, and Le Grand Courtâge Brut Rosé is a blend of Chardonnay, Ugni Blanc and Gamay from Burgundy, Languedoc and Beaujolais.

Winemaking: Falkner works with sparkling expert, Marcel Combes to create the two versatile and balanced Le Grand Courtage wines. The winemaking philosophy is for a balanced and lighter flavor profile to fit virtually any cuisine or cocktail creation. Deliberately lower alcohol and more bright fruit notes and crisp, palate-cleansing finish. Each varietal is fermented separately at cool temperatures to produce a crisp, fruit-forward finish. Once blended, the cuvée remains sur lie during the prise de mousse (secondary fermentation), filtration and the addition of the dosage.

Le Grand Courtâge recently launched a second brand and single sku, Très Chic Rosé. From Pays d’Oc, this wine is a blend of 70% Grenache and 30% Cinsault.
