  • Pinto Naravane other
    quoted from the source
    "Like a poem, my wine is complete only when the wine is experienced with an open mind and an open heart; and a connection is made to the essence of the wine, to the place where the grapes were grown, and to the intent, passion, and vision of the winemaker." — Pinto Naravane

Collaborations

Collaborated with VITAL Wines: 2022 VITAL x Rasa Syrah

Vital is its own winery, sorta. It gets fruit and juice from lots of wineries; it's a non-profit winery that gets donations from wineries and gives the proceeds to vineyard workers, for healthcare and such. (Kyle, 2026-09-16)
