One bottle per customer

this is as serious as Sauvignon Blanc comes

and complex umami

But instead of taking over the family operation he left to pursue a degree in agricultural engineering and then worked at wineries all over the world including Pousse d'Or in Burgundy and Paul Hobbs in Napa

A blend of Tannat and Cabernet Franc that is ripe and juicy like a plum about to burst

or a flame grilled Portuguese chorizo

even this inexpensive everyday red

The rough terrain is laden with hard volcanic rocks that would damage most machinery that tried to work it

with an almost skunky tarragon

They make their own compost and age their wines in a unique combination of large barrels — acacia and mulberry for their whites and cherry and oak for their reds

unlike some popular natural wines that are essentially just savvy branding covering up a fairly conventional large scale operation
