The Buena Vista Vinicultural Society, formed in 1863 by the winery’s founder, Count Agoston Haraszthy, to further improve its winemaking prowess and expand its vineyards, has been restored as a collection of unique small-production wines that honor the winery’s pioneering spirit and contribution to California winemaking. The Vinicultural Society explores clonal selections, varietals, and the incredible terroir of Northern California. The Count's Selection Charbono hails from the Shypoke Vineyard’s old vines, which are situated on the valley floor of Napa County in warm Calistoga. Also known as Bernardo, there are very few vineyards left planted to this unique varietal that was one of many brought back by the Count during his vine collecting expedition to Europe.
