ABOUT THE WINE
John Kongsgaard is a fifth-generation Napa Valley resident and winemaker. In 1996, after years spent winemaking and consulting for others, Kongsgaard set out on his own. His winemaking approach is non-interventionist: wines are produced with minimal intervention, no fining or filtration, and are fermented using only natural yeasts. Kongsgaard is also famous for putting Newton Vineyards on the map. Marcassin Winery, informally known as ‘The Prince of Pinot,’ is located on the Sonoma coast. Marcassin is led by winemaking icon Helen Turley, who receives impassioned praise for essentially every wine she works on. Encompassing a miniscule ten acres, Marcassin Winery produces exceptional wine created on Turley’s principles of patience and attention to detail.
