When norwegian armador (shipowner) Dan Odfjell founded our winery, he embarked upon an adventure filled with challenge and promise. “Orzada” is a nautical term for sailing up against the wind before setting a direction – our Orzada wines reflect our staking a course in pursuit of beautiful and memorable wines.
