 Hyatt
Hotels & Resorts, one of the world's premier hotel
companies, has launched its new signature wine brand,
CANVAS, developed in partnership with Napa Valley's
Folio Fine Wine Partners, owned by the Michael Mondavi
family, reports Drinksbusiness Review
Michael Mondavi's son who is the president of winegrowing
at Folio Fine Wine Partners, worked closely with Hyatt
and acclaimed Master Sommelier Andrea Immer to come
up with th Canvas label of these artisan wines.
The Canvas varietals are now available at restaurants,
bars and in-room dining at all Hyatt, Grand Hyatt, Hyatt
Regency and Hyatt Resorts in the US. Hyatt Place. Hyatt
Summerfield Suites properties will begin serving Canvas
wines later this year. The Canvas line includes three
varietals - Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Chardonnay.
"Folio Fine Wine Partners and the Michael Mondavi
name are synonymous with great wine," said Paul
Daly, assistant vice president food & beverage,
Hyatt Hotels & Resorts. "In an effort to develop
a wine that would impress the discriminating palates
of Hyatt guests, Folio was a natural partner. With its
dedication to local growers and the integrity of the
wine, their vision aligns with Hyatt's food and beverage
standards of excellence."
"It's an honor to develop a special blend for
a hotel company of Hyatt's caliber," said Michael
Mondavi. "Our goal for Canvas was to create three
premium California varieties that could be enjoyed on
their own by the glass or paired with a nice meal. The
name 'Canvas' represents the 'art of living,' and also
refers to the artisan approach we took when making the
wine - from sourcing only quality fruit from the top
growing regions in California, to the careful barrel-aging
and blending process."

wines become available in the Hyatt's Indian operations
