Charles Smith’s latest project, REAL Wine, brings together everything he has believed in throughout his winemaking career: transparency, drinkability and authenticity. These wines reflect his vision of creating a product that resonates with the Gen Z generation.
While REAL Wine represents his newest chapter, we will conclude the tasting by returning to where it all began – K Vintners – and taste the latest vintages of wines that consistently receive top scores from critics year after year.
“REAL Wine is more than a product—it’s a movement. I have been on a crusade for purity in the bottle, truth on the label and wine for the moment for 25 years.”
– Charles Smith
