 Each wine in the RQ27 curated collection was inspired by an element of nature that defines that country:

  • Ember: the bold and intense heat of Australia
  • Aria: the cooling lake winds of Canada
  • Acqua: the flowing currents of Italy
  • Terre: the layered earth of France
  • Sol: the sun-drenched plains of Spain

These top-tier wines are crafted with the finest ingredients to reveal the distinctive terroir of their region of origin.

    THE WINE
    Summit Red, a bold blend from Lodi, represents the peak of flavour where three varietals come together in harmony. Cabernet Sauvignon and Zinfandel bring a core of jammy blackberry, raspberry, and black cherry, layered with notes of fruit leather and subtle vanilla. Smooth tannins carry through to a finish touched with baking spice and chocolate, while a splash of Sauvignon Blanc lifts the wine with fresh aromatics and bright acidity, creating a balanced and expressive climb to complexity.

    THE REGION
    Nestled between San Francisco and the Sierra Nevada, Lodi benefits from a Mediterranean climate shaped by warm days, cool nights, and coastal breezes. Mineral-rich soils and diverse microclimates support expressive Cabernet Sauvignon and Zinfandel, developing ripe, concentrated fruit and smooth structure, while Sauvignon Blanc retains fresh aromatics and vibrant acidity, adding lift and balance to blends.

    Sierra Red, inspired by California’s rugged Sierra Nevada landscapes, reflects strength, depth, and intensity in every sip. This Lodi blend of Petite Verdot and Petite Sirah is driven by dark fruit, blackberry, plum, fig, and blueberry while layered with sweet vanilla and subtle dark chocolate notes.

    THE REGION
    With a long history rooted in agriculture and winemaking, Lodi is defined by sun-filled vineyard landscapes, cooling river influences, and fertile mineral-rich soils shaped by waterways flowing from the Sierra Nevada.

    THE WINE
    Volcanic Red is inspired by the ancient volcanic rock and limestone soils carried from the Andes into Chile’s Maipo Valley over centuries, creating ideal conditions for this bold blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Carmenère, and Merlot. Full-bodied and rich, it layers cassis, black cherry, and plum with spicy, earthy notes and hints of sweet cocoa. Structured tannins and balanced acidity lead to a velvety mouthfeel and long, lingering finish, reflecting the depth and intensity of the region’s dramatic landscape.

    THE REGION
    Located south of Santiago and stretching toward the Andes, Maipo Valley is one of Chile’s most renowned wine regions. Its warm, dry Mediterranean climate and fertile clay-based soils create ideal conditions for Cabernet Sauvignon, Carmenère, and Merlot to develop ripe dark fruit flavours, rich structure, and smooth tannins, producing bold yet balanced red wines with depth and complexity.
