Wine for sale: Far Niente

Far Niente

Far Niente was established in 1885 by John Benson and flourished until the introduction of Prohibition in 1919. Sixty years later, in 1979, Gil Nickel acquired the vineyard and undertook extensive renovation work. The year 1982 marked the permanent revival in the fortunes of the domaine's production with its Cabernet Sauvignon harvest. Today, the domaine focuses on growing just two grape varieties: Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay.
