When it was launched in 1995, the Fuente Opus X was the very first Dominican Puro, albeit using Cuban seed to plant the tobacco. As the premier cigar in the legendary Arturo Fuente line up, the Fuente Opus X has developed a loyal following of fans that hunt for their cigars around the world, helping it to gain a reputation as one of the greatest cigars in history.Įxtremely rare and hard to find, OpusX Cigars often sell out before they even hit the shelf. The OpusX is responsible for elevating the world’s perception of what a Dominican Cigar can be, using a tobacco hailing from a region that was previuosly thought incapable of culturing a premium tobacco leaf. This essential human touch brings forth the characteristics of each vintage through a balance of delicate coaxing and gentle restraint.Known as the “most sought after cigar”, the Fuente Opus X Cigars by Arturo Fuente is perhaps the hardest cigar to come by in the world. Here, the vineyard team cultivates five traditional Bordeaux grape varieties with experience, passion and dedication. Just as it honors the land, it honors the light.įour meticulously hedged vineyard parcels form the Opus One estate. The building sits in harmony with its natural surroundings, offering a soft transition from the vineyard to its lush, green grass exterior. Rising gently from the earth around it, the Opus One winery does not rush to reveal itself. After 18 months, the wine is bottled and held an additional 15 months until release on October 1st each year. From tasting berries to careful sorting and extended aging in new French oak barrels, each stage of the winemaking process is afforded the same meticulous consideration and attention. Guided by the vision of our founders, our winemaker, Michael Silacci, combines intuition and technical acumen with the dual perspective of viticulturist and winemaker. Nearly four decades later, we continue to refine the complex subtleties of Opus One by honoring traditional methods and the continual pursuit of innovation and improvement.
When our founders created Opus One, they dreamed of a great wine that would transcend generations. This singular mission shapes every vintage, today and for generations to come. Together, our founders set out to create a single wine dedicated to the pursuit of uncompromising quality. Opus One is the realized dream of two men: Baron Philippe de Rothschild of Chateau Mouton Rothschild in Bordeaux and Napa Valley vintner Robert Mondavi.
