New labels arrived today for another Qvevri wine from the splendid 2018 vintage. 19 wines in total may seem excessive, but born of the spirit of experimentation, every one seems justified and very much it’s own. #lowinterventionwine #qvevri #wildferment… ift.tt/38a76JV

I’ve always loved being by the Sea, how calming it can be, but recently swimming in it has become a bit of an addiction. What better way to connect with nature than to immerse yourself in it. Reset, relax and replenish. 💙 ift.tt/2uxD3xk

Loving these. Been pruning the 2018 plantings today. Should be a nice little crop this year, producing our very first domaine wines. #onoyoshi f-type secateurs ift.tt/32IeNFp
