VINO BLANCO

CARBÓNICA

RIESLING

Warm days • Long nights •
Tapas and chats over chilled reds and
cold whites •

We taste with our eyes, our nose, our mouth but sound and touch are elements that enhance our sensory experience • A wine tastes different in a glass than it does in a ceramic cup. It is the sensation of touch that changes your experience • Malolactic fermentation in a barrel sounds like snap, crackle, pop. It indicates a natural shift in the wine • A healthy, diverse ecosystem sounds like the hum of bees, birdsong and wind through different leaves. An indication organic life is allowed to live there • The undeniable sound of a constant crunch under foot reveals a terroir of stony gravel. A flavour to be found expressed in a wine • This is our Grava •

Walk

Our intention is to live an easy life — work hard and reward ourselves for that work with simple things that give pleasure • We respect the natural world around us and focus on how we can do things in a more straightforward, thoughtful way • We make wine both here in Aotearoa and in Spain and have done for over twenty years. We feel fortunate to enjoy the cultural exchange that comes with this work • All we want from our wine is that it is a conduit for easy, enjoyable moments. Join us for a glass of the best wine we can make from what the land, both here and there, can offer us •

Al & Karla • ¡salud!
