The story behind it
The maker
Launched in California in 2010, Apothic became famous for its flagship Apothic Red blend, inspired by historic European wine apothecaries. The winery focuses on creating smooth, crowd-pleasing wines that offer unexpected depth and fruit-forward intensity.
How it is made
Apothic was named after the 'Apotheca', a mysterious place where wine was blended and stored in 13th-century Europe. The winemakers combine Old World intrigue with modern California grapes to create bold, structured blends.
