Based on the same philosophy as Quintessa, Illumination is a Sauvignon Blanc of great precision, faithfully revealing its soil. Planted in 2002 by Agustin and Valeria Huneeus, this grape variety expresses a rare complexity and remarkable aromatic purity. Produced in limited quantities, this cuvée is now one of the most sought-after white wines in Napa Valley, combining freshness, elegance and authentic expression of the vineyard.

Quintessa

Illumination, Quintessa's second wine, also expresses all the beauty of its land

◊

It was in 1990 that the Chilean couple Agustin and Valeria Huneeus created the future very famous Quintessa vineyard. They chose Rutherford, a famous wine region in the heart of Napa Valley, to establish their property there. The particularity of these lands is that they have never welcomed vines before. The land has an exceptional geodiversity: it is nestled in the heart of hills and valleys, also surrounding Dragon Lake. The Huneeus family decided to use organic and biodynamic practices, and to work each plot individually, from harvest to vinification, to thus preserve all the particularities of this formerly virgin land.
