From the Importer Steven Graf Wine: Bruno works with his partner Mylène on a mere 5 hectares, where they grow a litany of different varieties like Tempranillo, Carignan, Cinsault, Syrah, Aubun, Chasselas, amongst others. These grapes are pristine, and Mylène and Bruno foster them into these incredible wines that are stuff of their dreams. There's nothing like listening to Mylène and Bruno tell the story of their wines. It's a love story, through and through, and that's the criteria that matters most to us. Rita is an ode to Mylène's grandmother, and to Rita Hayworth. Zulu is a nostalgic nod to Bruno's childhood home in South Africa. Each and every cuvée has its story.
