Austin Richard Post, known professionally as Post Malone, is an American rapper, singer, songwriter, record producer and actor who has sold over
65 million records in the US. Most recently, Posts’ long-standing appreciation for the finer things in life has transcended into the wine
space with the creation of Maison No. 9.
How did this happen? Here is the story....
The 61st Grammy Awards were taking place in Los Angeles the following day and Post Malone was wrapping up a long day of rehearsals with the Red Hot Chili Peppers at the Staples Center.
Afterward, Post and his Manager Dre London sat over dinner. Their longtime friend had introduced them to James Morrissey, who spent the evening describing a vineyard in the South of France, which was producing the most incredible Rosé he had ever tasted.
The founders have an affinity for French wine. Post, in particular, has a long-standing appreciation for the finer things in life.
They found themselves and their friends drinking more Rosé in recent years but hadn't found a blend or brand that stood out as their favorite.
They wanted to create a brand that spoke to everyone in a meaningful way – a brand and liquid that their peers identified with. So they set out to create an high- quality Rosé from Provence that encourages good times and sharing with others.
Ten days later, the trio was on the French Riviera, sitting at the winery, sampling the grapes.
The group fell in love with the liquid, the landscape, and the Mediterranean lifestyle. It took multiple trips and tasting of over 100 Rosé blends until they found the perfect one.
Maison No. 9 was born.
