Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have
gone into the wine business - and are putting their names on the label. (Designer
Wine Lol!)
The movie star couple are
producing wine from their French chateau in southern France, wine website
Decanter.com reported.They have been working with French winemaker Marc Perrin, starting with the 2012 harvest, and first plan a rosé called Miraval, named after the chateau.
The Miraval wine will be on the market in March, and white wines will begin arriving by the end of this summer.
"They ... want to ensure
they are making the best Provence wines they can," Mr Perrin told
Decanter.com.
"They were present at the
blending sessions this year, and are relooking at everything from the
installations in the winery - where we have already switched to stainless steel
tanks - to reworking the labels across the range of wines," he added.
The back label of the Miraval
wine carries the names Jolie-Pitt and Perrin.
Pitt and Jolie began renting
Chateau Miraval in Correns, southern France, about four years ago and later
bought the property, which has about 148 acres (60 hectares) of vines.
The Miraval wine was formerly
called Pink Floyd because the British rock band recorded their 1979 album
"The Wall" in a studio on the estate, Decanter.com said.
Pitt last year unveiled a
high-end collection of furniture that he helped create with designer Frank
Pollaro.
He has also worked with
architects to create affordable quality housing for victims of Hurricane
Katrina in New Orleans.
