A truly unique creation from Clos Bateau, Sang de Terre is crafted using Pinot Noir and vinified in Georgian qvevri buried in their garden. With an extended maceration of 10 months, this wine is a labor of love, expressing deep complexity and character. After pressing with a traditional wooden press, the wine rested for 1.5 months in a barrel before bottling, resulting in a bold and expressive cuvée.

WHAT TYPE OF GROWERS WE WORK WITH
OIur wines are a reflection of nature's truest form. We partner only with biodynamic vineyards—places where vines are nurtured with a reverence for the earth and a deep respect for natural rhythms. These vineyards view the soil not as a means to an end but as a living, breathing ecosystem. By working in harmony with the land, they cultivate wines that are as alive as the soils they spring from.
Our wines hold the pure expression of the vine, untouched by chemical interference and guided by the wisdom of traditional methods. Each bottle carries an honest snapshot of its origin: the seasons, the hands that tended the vines, and the character of the soil itself. These are wines with a pulse, honest and unapologetic, offering a taste of nature in its unaltered state.
