CORTE QUAIARA. IN A STUBBORN AND CONTRARY DIRECTION.
CORTE QUAIARA. IN A STUBBORN AND CONTRARY DIRECTION.
“THE VINEYARDS AND THE CELLAR ARE MY HOME. I KNOW THE VINES ONE BY ONE, I OBSERVE THE SEASONS ON THE HEDGES AND THE GREAT HACKBERRY TREE. I SEE THE MUSTARD GROWING BETWEEN THE VINES, ALONG WITH THE BIODIVERSITY THAT NOURISHES THE SHOOTS AND MY FEELING.
I WORK, HARD. AGAINST THE TIDE, MOST OF THE TIME. I CHOOSE WHAT I THINK IS RIGHT EVEN WHEN IT IS MOST DIFFICULT.
MY WINES REFLECT THE ESSENCE OF THE WAY I THINK.
THEY RESEMBLE ME. THEY ARE NOT FOR EVERYONE AND THEY ARE UNIQUE BECAUSE OF THAT.”
TAKE AWAY, TO ADD.
“BEHIND MY BOTTLES THERE ARE DIFFICULT CHOICES, BETS BOTH LOST AND WON. THERE IS A MANIC RESPECT FOR THE LAND, FOR THE PEOPLE WHO WORK WITH ME AND FOR THOSE WHO WILL DRINK MY WINE. THERE IS REMOVAL, WHICH ADDS.
I PRUNE, THIN, DISCARD. I CUT THE TIPS OFF THE BUNCHES. I PULL OUT, UNWRAP, DETACH. ONLY WHAT IS LEFT IS VALUABLE.”
PINOT NOIR.
IT IS A CHALLENGING GRAPE VARIETY TO CULTIVATE, IT REQUIRES CONSTANT ATTENTION AND IT GIVES EXCEPTIONAL SATISFACTION TO THOSE WHO CARE FOR IT. MY LOVE FOR ITS COMPLEX AND CAPRICIOUS PERSONALITY HAS LED ME TO EXPLORE THE HOMELAND AND PLACES IT BELONGS TO. AND TO BECOME ITS AMBASSADOR.
OUR IMAGE.
A QUAIL. SHE IS THE ONE WHO NAMES THE PLACE AND THE LAND, SHE IS THE ONE MY GRANDFATHER CHOSE 60 YEARS AGO AS THE EMBLEM OF HIS BOTTLES. TODAY AS YESTERDAY, THE QUAIL IS THE VISUAL ELEMENT THAT DISTINGUISHES MY WINES. A SYMBOL OF WORK AND LIFE IN THE COUNTRYSIDE, IT DEMONSTRATES THE VALUE OF MY AND CORTE QUAIARA’S ROOTS. WITH AN EYE TO THE FUTURE.
