A Word From Our Founder

New year, same amazing vibes—the MYSA 6 Bottles Club is coming in hot with some serious flavor fireworks this month. We're talking three juicy reds to keep things bold, a vibrant orange that’s all sunshine and sass, a crisp white to keep it fresh, and a sparkling rosé because, well, bubbles make everything better. Grab a glass, snap a pic, and let us know which one’s your favorite this month—we’re dying to hear all about it. Cheers to an epic start to the year! 🥂

Club Pick 1

With deep roots in winemaking, it wasn’t until winemaker Andres Carull's trip to Bordeaux that he was inspired to shift to natural wine, embracing this ‘old-but-new’ path. In line with this vision, he now focuses on crafting vibrant wines from living vines, as seen in this fresh, easy-drinking red that highlights the authentic expression of Alicante's Monastrell grape.

Monastrell

Vibrant blackberry and strawberry with hints of eucalyptus and licorice. Smooth and balanced on the palate, with structured tannins and a sharp acidity.

Andres Carull, the current custodian of Finca Casa Balaguer, has a captivating narrative deeply intertwined with the legacy of Rafa Bernabe, the father of natural wine in Valencia. Hailing from Villena in Alicante, Andres' journey into natural wine began with a revelatory sip in a bar in St. Emilion, Bordeaux. Inspired by the unconventional beauty of a cloudy glass of wine, Andres sought to bring such innovation back home, eventually leading him to the mentorship of Rafa Bernabe.

Taking the reins of Finca Casa Balaguer from Rafa in 2013, Andres transformed the estate into a hub of cutting-edge winemaking. The two worked together for three years until Rafa's health concerns prompted him to step away.

Club Pick 2

Blended from hand-picked Merlot and Malbec grapes in the Blaye region of Bordeaux, this wine is crafted with gentle extraction to ensure a soft, balanced wine in every glass. Committed to sustainability, the estate nurtures its vineyards with locally-sourced plant-based infusions to keep both the vineyards and Mother Nature happy for years to come

Les Terres Dubien is a small, yet exceptional estate in the Médocaine peninsula, north of Bordeaux, founded in 2020. With just 3 hectares of vineyards, Benoit, the winemaker, embraces organic and biodynamic practices to highlight the unique terroir of each plot. His wines are crafted with native yeasts, gentle extractions, and minimal intervention, aging in vats and old barrels for 8 to 18 months. The harvest is manual, often with the help of friends, adding a personal touch to every bottle. Les Terres Dubien is a true expression of the land, with collaborative projects that further enrich its offerings.

Club Pick 3

An organic chillable red wine crafted from carbonic-macerated Montepulciano and skin-fermented Malvasia Bianca, delivering juicy flavors, soft tannins, aromatic complexity and texture to every glass. A delicious collaboration between Wonderwerk and Andre Power, the globe-trotting DJ and co-founder of Soulection

Wonderwerk stands out also for their colorful, eye-catching labels: “We wouldn’t be anywhere without our friends Anton Goddard and Lana Shahmoradian who design all of our branding and label artwork, as well as the slew of other friends who lend their creative energy to making some of our more absurd and visual ideas come true,” Issamu acknowledges. “It’s true that you “drink with your eyes first” and so we’ve always wanted to create wines that jump out at you, grab your attention and make you go “what is this all about…?” Well, New York, thanks to this hot addition in the Jenny & Francois book, you can now wonder about Wonderwerk’s work as well! - Jenny and Francois

Club Pick 4

An enchanting orange wine crafted from equal parts Grenache Blanc and Grenache Gris. This aromatic wine undergoes 15 days of skin contact with de-stemmed grapes, resulting in mellow, well-integrated tannins. The vibrant profile is marked by intense tropical and citrus notes, delivering a refreshing and exotic drinking experience.

Grenache Blanc, Grenache Gris

Saint-So is a joint project with François Ducrot, the skilled winemaker known as the "magician of vinification" from Domaine Enclos de La Croix. A few years ago, Ducrot noticed that many talented local organic farmers in Aspiran, a region west of Montpellier, were selling their grapes to co-ops for bulk wine production. Seeing this wasted potential, François decided to purchase these grapes and create a negoce that would highlight the vibrant wines from this lesser-known terroir of Languedoc.

In August 2019, we proposed to Ducrot the idea of vinifying a 100% Cinsault, a rare varietal often used for rosé or blending but one of our favorites for its light and energetic character. Cinsault has thin skins and large berries compared to other varietals like Grenache.

Club Pick 5

Crafted from a grape you've likely never heard of vinyater, this organic and biodynamic gem offers crisp apple aromas with subtle earthy undertones. By letting the fermentation process naturally unfold and leaving contact with the lees, VY allows this wine to fully express itself, delivering an authentic representation with a lovely slight creaminess on the finish.

Vinyater

Lemon, lime, green apple and mineral.

Massimo Marchiori and Antonella Gerosa, an Italian couple hailing from Piedmont, have embarked on a remarkable winemaking journey in Massís de Bonastre, nestled in the Baix Penedés region. Their mission? To revive neglected old vines and lesser-known grape varietals, transforming them into treasures of extreme quality and concentration. Embracing organic farming practices, they cultivate their plots with care, yielding grapes of exceptional character. In the cellar, they practice the art of minimal intervention winemaking, allowing native yeasts to guide fermentation and refraining from adding any additives, fining, or filtration, eschewing even the addition of SO2.

Club Pick 6

A rose petal pink natural wine with intense red berry fruit flavors, hints of citrus, notes of spice and bright acidity. Serve cold with picnic foods!
