Every so often, a bottle comes along that rewrites the rules. This wine is a revelation.
A Philosophy in Amber and Clay
Made by Josko Gravner, the visionary godfather of the natural wine movement, this is a philosophy rendered in liquid form. Forget everything you think you know about Pinot Grigio. This wine spent months macerating on its skins in ancient Georgian amphorae buried underground, followed by six years in old oak casks and over a decade aging in bottle before release.
It has evolved into something transcendent. The flavor is a slow symphony of dried apricot, black tea, smoke, and candied ginger. It has the tannic structure of a red wine and the soul of an ancient manuscript.
How to Enjoy
This wine was born before smartphones. Serve it at cellar temperature (55-60°F or 12-15°C), not chilled, and give it at least an hour in a decanter to breathe. This is wine for forever.
