How does Rekolt ensure authenticity?

We obtain our wines directly from a trusted network of merchants who are Ex-Chateau, thereby ensuring that the wines are sourced directly from the vineyards where they are produced. This direct sourcing eliminates the risks associated with middlemen and reduces the chances of counterfeiting.

Merchants then ship wines directly to our specialty storage facility. This facility is maintained in partnership with Joanne, one of the most established négociants in Bordeaux, known for their rigorous standards of quality and authenticity. The wines remain in this secure, temperature-controlled environment until they are requested by our customers. This approach ensures optimal storage conditions and further reduces the risk of counterfeiting or improper storage.

In addition, we employ the use of digital tokens. Each bottle of wine has a corresponding digital twin that mirrors its physical existence. This virtual representation serves as verifiable proof of ownership and authenticity, allowing anyone to validate the authenticity of the wines on the blockchain.

Finally, when a bottle of wine is requested by a customer, it is shipped using delivery services that specialize in transporting wines and spirits across the globe. These specialists understand the delicacy of such products and ensure they are delivered in perfect condition.

Throughout the entire process, your wine is fully insured. This means that from the moment it leaves the vineyard to the moment it reaches your doorstep, you can have peace of mind knowing that your investment is protected.
