The Moment

This is the bottle you open when the plan is simple: chill it, pour it, enjoy it. It’s a wine for picnics, park blankets, and afternoons that turn into evenings without checking the time.

What It Feels Like

The nose is bright, playful, and immediately expressive. Strawberry and cherry lead, joined by melon and white flowers, with a clean mineral edge that keeps everything fresh. As it opens, subtle tropical notes emerge — hints of guava and mango blossom — adding lift and charm without sweetness.

On the palate, the wine is juicy and electric. Tangerine, raspberry, and cranberry burst forward, often likened to an adult, dry take on Hawaiian Punch. Beneath the fruit, savory notes of hibiscus, coriander, and a touch of cinnamon or black pepper add dimension and keep the wine grounded.

The structure is light-bodied and dry, driven by vibrant acidity and soft, gentle tannins. The finish is lively and refreshing, leaving the mouth clean and ready for the next sip.

Why We Love It

Soul Love is pure joy in bottle form. A co-fermented blend of Riesling, Gamay, and Mourvèdre, made with native yeast and minimal intervention, the 2024 vintage is high-energy, wildly drinkable, and built for chilling. Serious farming, serious care — zero seriousness in the glass.
