NAPA, Calif., Sept. 15 /PRNewswire/ -- ONEHOPE Wine, a company built on the cornerstone of creating high-quality, affordable wines and donating 50 percent of profits to a variety of causes, today announced that its new vintage and all future wines are produced with Rob Mondavi, Jr. The hand-crafted wines are produced at the Michael Mondavi Family's Folio Wine Studio in Napa, CA from the region's premier, hand-picked grapes grown in Napa, Sonoma, and California's Central Coast.

For each bottle of ONEHOPE Wine purchased, 50 percent of the profits stemming from that sale are donated directly to the ONEHOPE Foundation. In turn, the foundation donates 100 percent of proceeds to partner charities including the National Breast Cancer Foundation, American Forest Foundation and Snowball Express, which helps support families of fallen troops.

"It has been a pleasure to work with an esteemed winemaker such as Rob Mondavi, Jr.," said Brandon Hall, chief marketing officer of ONEHOPE Wine. "This partnership allows ONEHOPE to bring the highest quality wines to consumers while focusing on our main mission of giving back to our charitable partners."

While each varietal has its own distinct characteristics, ONEHOPE Wines overall are well-balanced, making them perfect for everyday drinking, special occasions and gift giving.

"Working with ONEHOPE to co-create these wines has been an inspiring adventure," stated Rob Mondavi, Jr. "The company's entrepreneurial spirit and dedication to raising awareness around important causes that affect so many Americans is a common value that we share."
