Notes on the Producer

We launched ídola wine co in 2023 with the intention of cultivating awareness in our day to day lives. We treat wine as a meditation - from grape to glass - and believe in its power to communicate the complexities of Nature. Our fruit is processed in a minimal-intervention style that respects the subtleties of each vintage and honestly captures terroir in a glass. Consuming, and now producing, these types of wines encourages us to look beyond the bottle and reflect on where we fit into a bigger picture. There is beauty in knowing that every interpretation will be unique. We invite you to meditate on a glass of ídola, appreciating its unique sensibility each time you open a bottle. At the end of the day, ídola is about connection. With Nature, with others, with yourself. Join our mailing list to be one of the first to take a sip.
