From the dry-farmed No Sapiens Vineyard which is comprised of a mysterious melange of varieties that still remains mostly unidentified. Some think it is Dolcetto, with Lambrusco, & Cariñena interplanted within the vineyard located close to the Pacific Ocean at 1,066 ft above sea level on sandy loam and granite soils in Ensenada, Baja California. Fermented in concrete and aged for 3 months in steel vats and older oak barrels, bottled unfiltered & unfined.

A wine made from the three red grapes of the Jura - Ploussard, Trousseau, Pinot Noir - in equal proportions, all of which are fermented together and then aged in barrel for at least one year. It combines the finesse and sky-high acidity of Ploussard with the structure of Trousseau and the refinement of Pinot Noir.

40 year old, sustainably farmed 100% Hondarrabi Zuri from Getaria in Basque Country. Getariako Txakolina was the very first official Txakoli appellation (created in in 1989).

4 Generations. José Antonio, grandfather of the current owners, used to make wine at home for family consumption, and to sell locally, until they set up the Gaintza cellar in 1923. Bixigu means “Sea Bream”, "this is the traditional fish you eat in the famous restaurants in Getaria or from street vendors.

Driving acid, salinity, and slight effervescence (not from added Co2 - but the natural result of fermentation).
