This is a VERY special bottle, with a special story and a special unique label for each bottle which… we have been holding onto a few years now!

Here’s the story:

When lockdown first hit at the beginning of 2020, we wanted to support our Berlin importers and bought a various amount of wine upfront from most of them them.

One wine we got was from a lovely importer known as Tomar Bien (Olaf Schindler).

He is friends with Joan Ramon and Mari Carme of Escoda-Sanahuja in Catalonia, and made his own, very small scale 2018 wine with them which is 100% Carignan.

Only a tiny amount of bottles were made…

When we first tried it, it wowed us! It was so electric, with such soul and vibrancy. IT TASTED LIKE MAGIC ON THE TONGUE. We adored it.

We decided to buy some bottles of it because it was awesome and would help support the importer at a time, when all the restaurants were closing up and panic was in the air. They came unlabelled…

However, we were also in full Covid-sales crazy mode and so the bottles stayed resting, still unlabelled and quietly maturing in our stockroom. We recently re-discovered them and decided to open one with the team. IT STILL HAD THAT SAME MAGIC WE REMEMBERED YEARS AGO!

So, with just 32 bottles to offer you, we wanted to give the wine the justice it deserves. We asked one of our loyal and lovely customers, Nataliya Goncharova () to create some labels for the bottle, which she did having tried the wine and gathered some inspiration based on our love for her watercolour palette photos she usually posts on her .

She went on to design 32 individual pieces, so each bottle has its own unique watercolour artwork YOU can use after drinking the bottle.

We think they would make a nice card or tag, as they are easily removed by untying the string we added manually to create them.

We really love this energetic and soulful red wine made by Tomar Bien and Escoda Sanuhuja, and are thrilled to offer you a limited one-off set of 32 bottles to enjoy.
