Continuum Estate, located on the east side of the Napa Valley on Pritchard Hill near Oakville, was founded by Tim, his sister Marcia and their father Robert.

Tim, Marcia and their respective children produce Continuum, a small production single estate wine which celebrates the Mondavi family's four generations in wine and Tim Mondavi's five decades as a wine grower.

The 2012 vintage - the first to be listed by Flint - is a blend of 78% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Cabernet Franc, 6% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot.

"I am thrilled to be working with Flint Wines to bring Continuum to the most discerning wine market in the world," Tim Mondavi said. "We are looking forward to seeing Continuum on fine dining wine lists throughout the UK."

Sam Clarke of Flint Wines added: "Though we already represent 15 wineries from the US, mainly in California and Washington State, Continuum Estate further elevates Flint's portfolio within this sector."

Flint Wines is known as a Burgundy and American wine specialist, and lists over 100 wines in its portfolio, mainly targeting the on-trade and independent merchants.

Continuum will be shown at Flint Wines' 2015 annual tasting, which takes place on March 25 at No 4 Hamilton Place. The tasting will showcase the company portfolio as well as host a blind tasting seminar by master sommeliers Xavier Rousset and Ronan Sayburn, plus three themed masterclasses: New California, Biodynamic Champagne, and Burgundy, the New Generation.
