Agustin and Valeria Huneeus developed Quintessa in 1990 to establish the property as one of the great red wine estates of the world. Valeria guided the 280-acre Rutherford vineyard with strict care for the soil and environment with a commitment to biodynamic and organic farming. The vineyard’s many microclimates, soil types, elevations, and exposures have been planted to a wide selection of rootstocks and clones, with Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and small plots of Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Carmenère. The winery’s eco-sensitive design integrates nature and winemaking, with a gravity flow process, naturally cooled winery and caves. Winemaker Charles Thomas brings over 20 years of winemaking experience in California to Quintessa’s next decade. Visits to Quintessa are privately hosted and include a tour of the Quintessa Vineyard, a tour of the winery and caves by way of the grape, and a sit-down tasting of several vintages paired with local artisan cheeses.
