Welcome to the December 6 Bottle Club from MYSA Natural Wine!

"The choice of 'natural' winemaking is the end result of the work carried out in the vines. The choice is to limit external elements to allow the grapes to give the best of themselves. No adding of SO 2, no adding yeasts, no adding enzymes, ... in a phrase, leave nature alone whilst maintaining an eye for observation, a palate for tasting, a hand for helping and nurturing and a heart for sharing... Wine is a drink which creates conversation and conviviality" - Mas Coutelou

About Lurbira

Throughout my wine career I have always been drawn to the pure drinkability of Spanish wines. These are wines that deliver killer flavors, but at price tags you won’t feel guilty about popping a bottle every night for dinner. After years of discussing it (usually over a bottle of wine) Rooted Selections decided to jump in and create our own custom cuvee, but who to partner with? We knew we wanted to work with a family, someone who cared for and respected the land, as well as having a deep connection to their region. Enter Bodegas Beramendi, a family owned sustainably farmed winery in the Navarra region of Northern Spain. Here Bodegas Beramendi cultivates the traditional varieties of Garnacha, Tempranillo, Graciano, and Garnacha Blanca, along with the more international varieties of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Chardonnay. After an exhaustive search for a name we decided on Lurbira, who was the “Earth Goddess” in the ancient religion of the native Basque people of the region. To us this helps symbolize the commitment we feel to the land as well as allowing us to keep in the spirit of Bodegas Beramendi, which is one of the only wineries in Spain run completely by women. -Rooted Selections

About Airlie Bank

The modern winemaking facility processes fruit sourced from over 75 hectares of privately-owned vineyards that have been planted with varieties best suited to each site. Varietals include Pinot Gris, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Gamay, Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz. The Punt Road range was first released to the market in 2001 with great success. Only small parcels of the best estate-grown fruit (from the oldest vines) are used for this range. These wines show concentration and complexity but are balanced by regional elegance. Additionally, the winery releases an Airlie Bank range of wines including Cabernet Franc and Pinot Gris rose. - Little Peacock

About Hollow Wines

 

Quinn Hobbs Hollow Wines is a newish natty California project from Woodson “Quinn” Hobbs, who grew up in Portola Valley, with his Aussie wife Alison and their daughter Mina. They currently live in LA but make the wine in Gilroy, sourcing fruit from organic vineyards up and down the state. Quinn not only has the Midas touch with wine, he's also getting his PhD in global leadership and change so that he can help other wineries produce low-carbon wine that’s better for the planet and the people. To that end, Hobbs requires fruit sources to be organic. If you use Roundup anywhere on the property, it's a firm no-go. “Roundup is a disaster for this planet,” he says. He considers himself a practitioner of No B.S. winemaking, which he equates to minimal intervention and using wild yeast with no adds other than some sulfur. Some might call it natural winemaking, but he prefers to say “simply good wine making.”
