Jim Thompson, the iconic global lifestyle brand from Asia, in collaboration with GranMonte, is proud to announce the launch of an exclusive wine collection, marking a significant move in the gastronomy realm for the lifestyle brand. This collaboration brings together the culinary craftsmanship of Jim Thompson with the viticulture expertise of GranMonte, a family-owned vineyard and winery in Thailand's Khao Yai region, a testament to both brands' commitment to excellence and innovation.
The Jim Thompson X GranMonte Collection features two distinct wines: the Jim Thompson X GranMonte Syrah and the Jim Thompson X GranMonte Verdelho. The bold red Syrah encapsulates ripe raspberry and blackcurrant flavors with a vanilla oak finish. The crisp white Verdelho offers an aromatic bouquet of gooseberry and passion fruit with a flinty undertone.
This first wine collection from Jim Thompson stands out with its unique label design – stylized patterns in red and earth tones for the red wine and blue with earth tones for the white, inspired by Thai silk motifs. The label draws from Jim Thompson’s "The Icon of Siam" scarf, capturing the majestic Chao Phraya River and the spirit of Siam while highlighting Thailand's iconic landmarks and cultural beauty. The neck of the wine bottles is further embellished with decorative trims sourced from Jim Thompson Home Furnishings. Specially crafted 100% silk wine bags at Jim Thompson’s factory in Nakhon Ratchasima province turn the bottles into perfect gifts: a gold bag for red wine and a blue bag for white.
GranMonte Vineyard and Winery is spearheaded by Visootha ‘Nikki’ Lohitnavy, Thailand's first qualified oenologist. Dedicated to sustainable practices and employing cutting-edge techniques adapted to the unique terroir of Khao Yai, GranMonte crafts internationally acclaimed wines exclusively from locally grown grapes. Situated in the Asoke Valley at an elevation of 350 meters near the UNESCO-listed Khao Yai National Park, the 40-acre vineyard has earned the title of "Best National Producer – Thailand" by AWC Vienna multiple times. Its wines carry the Khao Yai Wine Geographical Indication, ensuring their origin and quality.
