This wine took its time to be released because we wanted it to be original and innovative. It required a lot of inspiration and a “divine pact” in order for it to come to life. Facetiously, the name of the wine and its label allude to this pact that kept us going, caring on despite frustrations and onto finally producing one of the best wines that has thus far left our winery.
