Our guide Nestor was lovely and super passionate. You get so excited to try the wine! They really care about their vineyard, and it shows. This wine is pretty unique. A little more pricey than the super markets but that’s what you get when you do it the eco friendly and conscious way! Highly recommend. Left with two bottles!”
