Gustavo Martinez Waro Pais 2021 ($32.95, 12pk)

$32.95 per bottle | case of 12 x 750ml | 13.0% alc. | dry red wine 

We are huge fans of humble Gustavo Martinez's unique natural wines. A member of the RAW Wine collective (zero sulfites / zero chemicals), Gustavo is based in Florida, Bio Bio, in southern Chile where cooler temperatures meet Atlantic breezes.
⁠
This single vineyard expression of País (AKA California's Mission grape, Criolla in Argentina, or Listan Prieto on the Canary Islands) comes from a plot that is over 200 years old, yet shines pure and bright like a gorgeous purple Ring Pop.

Waro is a wonderful introduction to Gustavo's style as well as this historic indigenous grape of Chile. We hope you give it a try, perhaps with some of the following suggestions:

• the aforementioned purple Ring Pop
• crumpets and jam (grape jelly maybe?)
• early Veruca Salt or current Olivia Rodrigo
• a maguro poke bowl

Cheers!
