Sensoria Duality
A Cabernet Franc–led wine from Oakville Ranch, shaped by the duality of mountain intensity and Oakville polish.
Sensoria Duality explores the space between two forces. It is built around Cabernet Franc’s aromatic lift, savory detail, and architectural frame, creating a wine that is intense without heaviness and precise without austerity.
Produced in extremely limited quantities, Duality is reserved for NEOTEMPO’s allocation program and offered to committed clients seeking deeper access to the wines, Studio experiences, and multi-sensory world of NEOTEMPO.

Mountain intensity. Oakville polish.
Duality takes its name from the contrast at the heart of the wine. Grown at Oakville Ranch, a high-elevation hillside vineyard on the eastern slopes of the Mayacamas Mountains, the wine combines mountain-grown intensity with the polish and refinement that define Oakville.
The site rises above the Napa Valley floor, with west and southwest-facing exposures, rocky volcanic soils, fractured basalt, rhyolite, and iron-rich gravel. These conditions naturally moderate vigor and yields, encouraging deep roots and producing fruit with structure, concentration, and mineral tension.
Warm Oakville days build depth and dark-fruited concentration, while afternoon marine influence through the Petaluma Gap preserves freshness, aromatic lift, and balance. The result is a wine shaped by two forces: power and elegance, mountain character and valley refinement, structure and grace.
Duality begins with tension.

2023 Sensoria Duality
The 2023 Sensoria Duality is a Cabernet Franc–led expression of contrast and harmony. It brings together the savory lift and floral detail of Cabernet Franc with the depth, polish, and quiet power expected from NEOTEMPO.
The wine is shaped around balance rather than excess. Dark fruit, red plum, violet, dried herbs, graphite, and subtle spice move through a focused frame, supported by fine tannins and a lifted, energetic finish.
For NEOTEMPO, Duality represents an intimate side of the portfolio: a limited wine for collectors, thoughtful dinners, private Studio moments, and clients who connect with the brand’s fusion of nature, art, science, music, and memory.
