A Rare Opportunity for Collectors to Acquire a Highly Acclaimed
Single-Vineyard Wine, Crafted by Jason Exposto and Jessica Futo
NAPA,
Calif., Oct. 15, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ --
Benchmark Wine Group is honored to announce the exclusive offering
of the last allocation of Helianthus, a single-vineyard wine
crafted by Jason Exposto and Jessica
Futo. Named one of the top 100 wine brands in the country by
acclaimed critic James Suckling,
Helianthus presents a rare opportunity for collectors to acquire
one of Napa Valley's most
celebrated wines.
Since its debut in 2013, Helianthus has earned acclaim from
leading wine critics, attracting a dedicated following among
discerning collectors. These final vintages, from 2013 to 2019, are
now available exclusively through Benchmark Wine Group.
"Helianthus is an extraordinary example of Napa Valley winemaking at its finest,
combining precision, elegance, and profound depth," remarked
David Parker, CEO of Benchmark Wine
Group. "It's a privilege to offer these remaining bottles, which
reflect the skill and dedication of Jason and Jessica. This wine
embodies everything sought by collectors—complexity, limited
production, and flawless provenance."
The vineyard's location in the southern Napa Valley foothills combines ideal
conditions—optimal exposition, climate, and complex soil profiles.
Situated at 300 feet on rocky volcanic terrain, the site
experiences cool, foggy mornings and long, sunlit afternoons,
allowing the fruit to develop intense flavors and refined
structure.
Winemaker Jason Exposto shares, "The Helianthus embodies the
spirit of our work: beautiful to the senses, yet precise in its
arrangement. Every step, from meticulous pruning to multi-pass
harvesting, is in harmony with the vineyard's natural rhythm. The
result is a wine with three-dimensional aromatics and a
concentrated yet ethereal frame."
With fewer than 500 cases produced in most vintages, Helianthus
has become highly sought after among collectors. The final
allocation, preserved in original climate-controlled conditions, is
now available exclusively through Benchmark Wine Group.
"Helianthus represents a rare opportunity for collectors to add
a true Napa Valley treasure to
their cellars," Parker added. "We anticipate high demand for these
final bottles, with early access offered to the Helianthus mailing
list and our top collector base."
For collectors seeking to add these extraordinary wines to their
cellars, orders can be placed directly through Benchmark Wine Group
