Coravin

When a secret cache of late 19th-century wine was discovered beneath a chapel at Becov Castle in the Czech Republic, the question wasn’t just what was inside — it was whether any of it had survived.

In 2016, restorers turned to Coravin Timeless to find out.

One sample. Cork intact. No damage done.
The answer? Still alive.

The bottles, mostly from 1892–1899, have since been restored by and are now on public display at the castle.

Some wines are worth waiting for…
