WINES OF INDIVIDUALITY, PASSION AND THE EARTH
The Earth is changing. Fact. Everywhere we look we can see examples of a more and more unstable climate, stronger storms, winters without snow and rising sea levels to name but a few, however one of the most tangible indications of this global change are the vintage to vintage variations in the wines we love. Classically beloved regions such as Chablis in the farthest reaches of Northern Burgundy, known for producing powerfully acidity and mineral forward Chardonnay, influenced by the cool climate, are in recent vintages drinking much riper, almost tropical and while still stunning are a startling indication that we are losing the classic wines the world has held dear for so long.
It is to this end that we focus on supporting and selling wines from producers focused on their land and the environment first. Often times this means these winemakers are working with very small plots, using organic or biodynamic practices and manipulating their wines very little in the cellar. These wines sing of the land they grew from and we think they're truly special creatures. Drinking sustainably is the first step to making sure the next generation can experience the history, beauty and allure of this magical liquid.
