Winery Story: Leading U.S. wine & spirits importer Palm Bay International is pleased to present an exciting new range of California wines called Mon Frère. French for ‘my brother’, Mon Frère is a celebration of our connections to each other, to those special people with whom we choose to share life’s triumphs and tribulations. The range includes three expressions: a fresh Chardonnay with moderate, well-integrated oak, a Pinot Noir that delivers ripe, rich fruit flavors, and a Cabernet Sauvignon that expresses concentrated, ripe fruit and firm structure while remaining smooth and approachable.
Developed and vinified by an exceptional team led by Tom Hinde, chief winemaker for the celebrated Au Contraire Wines, Mon Frère Winery champions the very best in quality California sourcing and winemaking. The Mon Frère packaging playfully celebrates friendship in its many forms through hand-drawn custom illustrations and lighthearted copy.
