"18 Karat Gold"

Brown Estate 2021 'Duppy Conqueror' Blanc de Blancs

“Oshun Osogbo” by Harmoniee Rosales

Harmonia Rosales paints in the tradition of the Renaissance masters, but in her hands, the heavens belong to the African diaspora. 

In this scene we see Oshun, the Yorùbá deity of the life-giving river, draped in the gold earned by her peacock's sacrifice. She has sweetness and power held in the same body. This Blanc de Blancs carries that same dual nature: bright and effervescent on the surface, but with a richness underneath that commands reverence. 

Brown Estate describes this wine as glowing "like a canary diamond with 18k gold flecks" and it shows. There is something truly divine about a wine this luminous and alive with color and presence. Some wines are made to be consumed, but this one was made to be offered.
