3 Pillars of Artisan Wine
-
Origin
A focus on expressing the characteristics of the vineyard. Usually cultivating native grape varieties tied to the land and climate for thousands of years. Good wines are made in the cellar, but great wines are made in the vineyard.
-
Craft
The craft of winemaking begins in the vineyard and continues until bottling. From turning soil, pruning, canopy management, harvesting, pressing, fermentation, aging, and refinement, the artisan takes a hands-on approach to every step.
-
Culture
An artisan wine exists because the passion of the people make it possible. The artisan carries the torch and passes it to the next generation by sharing secrets while respecting the land. Artisans drink their own wine and sell it to their local communities.
