INNOVATUS WINE

INNOVATUS (Latin for "innovation") wines embrace the entrepreneurial spirit and innovative breakthroughs of Napa Valley, one of the smallest wine regions in the world. Cecil Park, an award-winning winemaker who has developed a reputation as one of the most creative winemakers in Napa, captures the essence of innovation and tradition in her INNOVATUS wines by combining both science and agricultural expertise with classic, small-lot techniques, ultimately producing some of the most balanced wines that embody elegance, purity, and power.

She is the first Korean-American female winemaker and viticulturist who manages over 80 vineyards throughout Napa and Sonoma, and uniquely integrates her broad education in biotechnology engineering and viticulture to bring out an exceptional tasting experience from the ground to the barrel, to the glass. She also travels the world educating and speaking on winemaking.
