At first glance, nothing. Yet, a closer look reveals more similarities than meet the eye. Particularly when we’re not talking about mass-produced goods, but rather high-quality, handcrafted, impeccably produced, and aesthetically appealing products. A great example is the fantastic project “One of Seven,” developed by the bicycle manufacturer Markus Storck.

 

Storck is renowned the world over for the bicycles he produces. His specialty: bicycle frames out of reliable UD carbon fiber weave. He’s also an avid automobile fan. Now, in cooperation with McLaren Mercedes, he’s designed a car: the 650S-MSO “One of Seven.” Not surprising that many of its parts are made out of carbon fiber. It’s a limited edition comprising seven autos, and hence the name “One of Seven.” And that’s not all. In addition to these seven extraordinary sports cars, Storck wanted to come up with other exceptional products. This was the genesis of seven sunglasses made of carbon fiber, produced by an eyewear designer in Denmark. Seven Rolex watches were refined. And Storck himself built seven very special bicycles. Thanks to our friendship with Storck, we were fortunate enough to be able to contribute seven exclusive bottles of wine to the project.

 

Our “One of Seven” wine is definitely one of the craziest, and in terms of packaging, one of the finest wines we’ve ever produced. The grapes were sourced from the finest parcels of vineyards in Rüdesheim. It goes without saying that it’s dry in style. It appeals with its incredible balance and finesse. It spent 18 months on the coarse lees, and thus experienced every season of the year twice. For the “One of Seven” project we bottled this wine in seven Balthazars (@ 12 liters each). The wine is packed in a wooden case with a matt black, hard plastic (reposal) finish. It was crafted to meet the highest, furniture quality standards by our master carpenter here in Hattenheim. The label was produced out of aluminum paper, and the case closure was made of a laser engraved, five-millimeter-strong A|Mg3 plate. This is a special aluminum alloy with a magnesium component. The entire edition was strictly limited to seven units. 

 

All seven bottles of this precious wine sold out immediately.
