Francis Ford Coppola Winery

Der US-Amerikaner Francis Ford Coppola ist vielen als erfolgreicher Regisseur und Produzent bekannt. Er führte Regie bei berühmten Klassikern wie „Der Pate“ und „Apocalypse Now“ und zählt heute zu den bedeutendsten Filmschaffenden des US-amerikanischen Kinos.

In Geyserville in Kalifornien betreibt Francis Ford Coppola sein Weingut. Die Kulisse seines unweit von Hollywood gelegenen Anwesens erinnert in vielerlei Hinsicht an seine effektvollen Filme. Die Weinherstellung hat in der Familie Coppola Tradition. Bereits sein Großvater produzierte im Keller seiner New Yorker Wohnung Wein aus kalifornischen Trauben. 1979 erwarb Francis Ford Coppola den ersten Teil des Weingutes Inglenook in Kalifornien. 1995 kaufte er die verbliebenen Teile des Anwesens und baut seitdem hauptsächlich die Rebsorte Cabernet Sauvignon an.

2007 erweiterte Francis Ford Coppola sein Weingut um das Château Sovereign im Sonoma Valley. Dort werden von seinem Winemaker Corey Beck unter anderem die Weinserien „Diamond Collection" und „Director‘s Cut" produziert. Beste Weinbau-Bedingungen bieten Coppola das zuverlässig warme Klima in Kalifornien und die vielseitigen Anbauflächen auf vulkanischen Böden, Schwemmland-Böden oder auch sehr steinigen Lehmböden.

Product recommendation

Hensel Höhenflug Chardonnay
The Hensel Höhenflug (high-altitude flight) Chardonnay is noticeably influenced by the ageing in barriques, giving this white wine from the Rhineland-Palatinate a remarkably multi-faceted bouquet. The wine unites notes of toast, caramel and vanilla in its bouquet, complemented by fruity nuances of juicy, ripe honeydew melon and ripe pineapple.On the palate, this blend from the innovative wine-grower Thomas Hensel is creamy and fruity, with light tannins. The fine acidity offsets the powerful body of this well-balanced Chardonnay with a stimulating freshness. You’ll enjoy discovering an exceptional Chardonnay, offering roast aromas and a sumptuous body.

Cantina Tramin Stoan Bianco
Cantina Tramin Stoan Bianco is a blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Blanc, Sauvignon Blanc and Gewürztraminer. The name “stoan” stems from the stony soil that is the origin of this wonderful cuvée. The German word "Stein" (stone) is pronounced "stoan" in this region. The wine has pleasant fruity notes and a refreshing acidity. Unobtrusive used wood highlights the typical nuances of Chardonnay and Pinot Blanc. Light aromatic and seductive aromas of Sauvignon Blanc and Gewürztraminer-grapes give this blend elegance and freshness. A mouth-filling but light whitewine with a pleasantly creamy finish.
