Wonderwerk - 'Chismosa' - Pétnat of Gewurztraminer, Pinot Gris, Montepulciano - California, USA - 2023

Notes from the Winery/Importer

Andrea Jaramillo (of Mas Vino Please), dreamt up this wine as a lighter, bubblier expression of Como la Flor. Something she could enjoy with her friends while ge﬙ing ready to go out or as a pre-dinner apertif. The name (which means someone who likes to gossip) and label design instantly came to us - let's take the Rose note and give it some more personali﬚. The sparkling bubbles makes this wine sing out of the bo﬙le like laughter when you hear something juicy.

Notes on the Producer

Wonderwerk: House of Fermentation
is Issamu Kamide and Andrew Lardy, two high school friends from Virginia seeking new directions in fermentation. Since our inception we’ve worked with amazing farmers and vineyards from all over California to make wines that everyone can wavelength with. We produce and bottle with our own hands and feet. Every bottle begins as a concept - a look, a feel, an occasion, a vibe - that range from low-intervention to high-innovation production methods in the cellar. Wonderwerk began as a long night on a disco dancefloor finally wound down and we didn’t want the party to end. Now, it’s flowed from there into the wines you see and drink today. Come along for the ride, bring your dancing shoes and an open mind, we promise we won’t disappoint.
