Es d’Aqui4
About
Es d’Aqui is the natural wine project of Jean-Louis Pinto, based near Limoux in southern France. Originally starting as a micro-négoce in 2010, Pinto sourced grapes from organic and biodynamic vineyards and vinified them in a small cellar beneath his home. Over time he began acquiring his own vineyards while continuing to work with trusted growers. The wines are made with spontaneous fermentation and minimal cellar intervention, typically bottled without added sulphur.

M&M Rouge
Ariège, France
An equal blend of Muscat and Mourvèdre from vineyards in Limoux planted on clay-limestone soils. A portion of the fruit saw a short maceration in whole bunches while some was directly pressed for assemblage followed by élevage in resin cuve. At 11%, this falls somewhere between light red and dark rosé. The wine wows with aromatic, vibrant fruit and lightly crunchy tannins and is undoubtedly one for chilling.

Crunchy red and black fruit meets saline freshness. Old-vine Carignan brings concentration, while Ugni Blanc adds lift and energy. Light, chiselled and refreshing, best served lightly chilled. Low alcohol at 10%.
