Character/Description

Bright and balanced, highlighted by juicy apple, cantaloupe and pear flavours enveloped in a crème brûlée finish.

Our Chardonnay reflects the distinctive personality of Monterey vineyards, which give rise to juicy apple, guava and melon flavours.  Whole-cluster pressing and a combination of barrel and stainless steel fermentation ensures that the creamy texture and caramelised sugar finish is balanced by a crisp acidity.

Character/Description

Our signature red wine, layered with flavours of blackberry, cassis and roasted espresso. Claret is a Cabernet Sauvignon-based wine, blended in the classic Bordeaux style. This Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, Malbec and Cabernet Franc blend is alluring and sophisticated; it is memorably lush with a tapestry of smooth tannins and succulent flavours of wild berries, plum and anise.

Character/Description

Similar to Australia’s famed Penfold’s Grange, Eleanor is a robust red blend that combines fruit from both of the Coppola properties. Blending Syrah and Petite Sirah grown in Rutherford with Sonoma Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah, we’ve created a unique bottling that is very long lived with exceptional depth and complexity. Beautifully perfumed with dramatic spices, our Eleanor offers a rich, velvety palate of jammy boysenberries, cassis and juicy plums enlivened by fragrant notes of black cherries, cloves, allspice and cocoa.

Character/Description

Sofia Rosé is a wine of unparalleled beauty. From its shapely, stylised bottle to its delicate fruity essence, this is a wine like no other. When served chilled, its refreshing style makes a delicious partner to light summer fare and savoury hors d’oeuvres. Feminine and stylish, with a fragrant perfume of wild strawberries, cardamom and lemon peel, this rosé is lively and balanced with succulent flavours of tangerine and a hint of stony minerals.
