The Diamond Collection wines are made from grapes from the California vineyards from both the coastal areas and inland valleys. By combining well with the fruit of these selections (from the warmer valleys and cooler coasts) you get great and beautiful complex wines and this is certainly the reason why the Diamond Collection from Coppola belongs to the most popular range of wines.

In the afternoon, the cool air of the Pacific flows into the valleys that run across the ocean and run deep into the land. Monterey, the picturesque coastal town south of San Francisco, has such a nice cool valley. The fruit from this valley has a wonderfully ripe character, in addition to a nice freshness. The chardonnay for this Diamond Collection Chardonnay comes from this valley, and it is made on the fruit, by partially fermenting it on stainless steel. But a touch of wood does give it some extra complexity. He gets that by fermenting half of the wine in barrel, using the more subtle French oak. The result is a particularly tasty yet uncomplicated Chardonnay, dry and intense, with good acids.

Grape variety : Chardonnay.

Color                   : Medium straw yellow.

Scent : Beautiful citrus fruit in the scent, apple, ripe melon, deliciously floral, some vanilla, smoky, beautifully wide and seductive, wonderfully exotic.

Taste : A dry and smooth taste, with a little fat and butter, but especially delicious tropical fruit, a hint of caramel and vanilla, creamy and strong.

Francis Ford Coppola (Detroit, April 7, 1939) is an American director, film producer and screenwriter known for The Godfather trilogy and Apocalypse Now, among others, and is considered one of Hollywood's foremost directors. In addition, Francis Ford Coppola has been active in the wine growing and trading business since the 1970s. In 1975, he and his wife purchased the estate of Finnish sea captain Gustave Niebaum in Rutherford, California (located in the famous Napa Valley wine region) and surrounding vineyards. That winery is now called the Rubicon Estate Winery. In addition, Coppola also owns the Francis Ford Coppola Winery in the Sonoma Valley.

Wine making is a long-standing tradition within the Coppola family. Francis Ford Coppola has been making wine for longer than directing films. Grandfather Coppola used to make wine in the cellars of their New York apartment from grapes that had come especially from California. The wines that Coppola makes today are no longer the same as from the cellars in New York, but are made with the same philosophy. Wines to drink with friends and family.

The Francis Ford Coppola Winery's parent company was named USA Wine Producer of the Year on November 16, 2011 by the International Wine & Spirit Competition.
