When I learned winemaking in Bordeaux most wineries still made wine that was meant for the ages. Things have changed since but I liked that tradition and I decided to maintain it in my project. I built my palate on the wines of the 70’s and the 80’s from the very extensive cellar of my in-laws. I really liked it! Traditionally families would buy wines knowing they would have to wait 20 year to drink it. A lovely tradition developed where basically the previous generation was buying for the next. I like this tradition because it created a sense of continuity, a deeper feeling of family and very importantly a legacy.
In this spirit, from the inception of Hesperian Wines, I kept a good portion of my wines in perfect conditions in a climate controlled warehouse for release when the wines were ready to drink. You now get the opportunity to purchase perfectly matured wine without having to wait.
