Introducing Cantadora, opulent Rhone wines that honor the enduring stories of remarkable women and their contributions to society. Organically farmed and dedicated to change, Cantadora is the brainchild of Kira Ballotta, launched in 2021 to share tales of women confronting today’s challenges. Each label tells a unique story, with 10% of sales supporting the women's organizations.

One such story is of Nancy Hom, whose favorite Tempranillo from Shake Ridge Ranch reflects her rich history in art. With firm tannins built to age gracefully, this wine promises longevity just like Nancy’s influence in the arts. Tasting this wine is akin to experiencing the complexities of a life well-lived—silky tannins, rich fruit, and a legacy that endures. Enjoy notes of ripe berries and a structure that promises elegance for decades to come. Cheers to persistence and the beauty it brings.

Wine Enthusiast

This wine is bright, rich with aromas of bramble raspberry, cassis, red plum, cinnamon and dried florals on the nose. The midpalate has flavors of mulled spices, red currant confiture, dried red plums, pink grapefruit zest and white pepper intertwined with blacktea leaf, bittersweet chocolate and a silky, dry finish. This bottling is a project honoring women who empower others. — Tonya Pitts
