Winter is coming! and I can't think of anything comforting and warming than a bottle of light red during this season in our humble, little home on the equator... Invierno is a field blend of Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris and Riesling (meaning that in this vineyard, the "field" is planted with vines of different varieties. This style of growing grapes is quite rare and this practice does pose its own different set of difficulties but the winemakers that do this agree that this process creates more harmonious wines <3).

Elegant and light but complex this wine is blooming with florals and red fruit as well as a kind of musky umami on the nose, this wine is interesting enough to stand on its own but still easy to drink and dang enjoyable. On the palette there is leanness with a bit of spice and refreshing acidity that wraps itself up in a soft-tannin finish. The front label of the Kindeli line, is a thing of beauty in itself. Here we see an alluring anthropomorphic fox-lady, in the nude (except for a scarf and a cozy hat) clutching secateurs, poofy-tailed and looking thoughtfully at the us, the unassuming Fourth Wall. The wines that Alex Craighead and his partner Josefina make is very much alive, undergoing neither filtration nor fining; in other words this wine is quite naked. It is a beautiful experience in every sip like the way that a body of water never stays still or is never the same even when standing still.
