The Owl & The Dust Devil wines are inspired by two natural wonders at Remolinos Vineyard

In the tranquil environment of Remolinos Vineyard a group of Lechuza owls have made their home. Perched atop vineyard posts, they keep a watchful eye over the vines, protecting against pests – both real and imagined! Throughout the growing season a mystical battle unfolds. ‘Remolinos’, or whirlwinds, arise, their spiral forms, mischievously weave their way through the vineyard. Catching sight of the swirling dust, the owls take flight in chase, until the dust devils disappear into thin air. The owls then return to their watching posts, satisfied that their precious vines are safe once again! Little do the owls realize that the dust devils play an equally important role in protecting our vineyard. Their airflow defends our vines from spring frosts and keeps our grapes dry and cool during the summer.

This intricately woven scene between two natural wonders, the winged predator and the wind, helps make our Remolinos Vineyard so distinctive and The Owl & the Dust Devil wines so exceptional.

This wine pays homage to two natural wonders of Remolinos Vineyard: the eponymous whirlwinds which form dust devils and the protective owls who seek to chase them away from ‘their’ precious vines.
