For more than three decades, Mercury Rising has stood as Cinnabar’s flagship wine—an expression of creativity, craftsmanship, and quality without pretense. First introduced in the mid-1990s, it defined our commitment to blending tradition with innovation, offering a red wine of remarkable depth and approachability.
Today, the Mercury Rising collection continues that legacy with the addition of three new wines - Chardonnay, Rosé, and Sauvignon Blanc - each crafted in the same spirit of excellence and discovery. Made to be vibrant, balanced, and accessible, these wines celebrate the essence of Cinnabar: high-quality winemaking, thoughtful innovation, and the enjoyment of everyday moments.
