History

In 1997, CornerStone wine was conceived by Clinton Ang at the age of 28, to reach out to the Asian palates and lifestyles. It was an ambitious attempt to be the first Singaporean to enter into joint ventures with vineyard owners in France and in making and blending his own style of wines, challenging mindsets and traditions! This ground-breaking vintage paved the way for more to come and its continued growth encouraged the addition of more varietals from different countries all over the world.

Philosophy

The philosophy behind CornerStone lies in the simple passion of pursuing great taste in perfect balance. Many times, wines reflect the character and background of the winemaker and CornerStone is a unique proposition conceived by an Asian and has one of the best selection of wines that aims to create a harmonious blend of flavours by complementing the diversity of Asian cuisines and palates.
