The year was 1924. It was the heart of the Prohibition Era and wine’s darkest hour when it was outlawed and deemed unconstitutional. It was also the year the Delicato family first planted vineyards in California and farmed grapes that were sold to friends and neighbors.
During an era of gangsters and bootleggers, port-style wines proved to be a favorite at speakeasies across the country. In honor of that bold time, two once-forbidden favorites come together to inspire this Port Barrel Aged Pinot Noir.

Friends since school, Anthony Aubert & Jean-Charles Mathieu challenged themselves to create a range of wines in their image, by bringing a touch of originality and modernity to their cuvées. Created in 2018, they are part of an eco-conscious approach, more transparent and more sustainable. This commitment is evident from the vine to the bottle with organic cuvées or in conversion.
Carbon neutrality is the brand’s primary commitment.
In 2022, 70% of all the cuvées will be certified by an environmental label. Eco-responsible packaging comprehends recycled and lightweight glass bottles, sustainable caps, labels and boxes. Sustainable viticulture makes possible to plant hundreds of trees each year works and to safeguard and protect the bees, its environment and the beekeeping heritage of Languedoc.
“Tired of our respective professional lives, we left everything to pursue a slightly crazy dream: to create wines like us, a little unconventional and offbeat” – Anthony Aubert & Jean-Charles Mathieu
