CERTIFIED, SUSTAINABLE WINERIES (OBVIOUSLY)
Obvious Wines are partnered with the best small production wineries around the world to build a collection of high-quality wines that clearly and directly illustrate their taste.
BROKEN EARTH WINERY
Rancho Tierra Rejada, Spanish for “land of worked earth,” is the original name of the 2,500 acre Paso Robles ranch that is now home to the vineyards of Broken Earth Winery. Their unique wines reflect winemaker Chris Cameron’s committed & passionate approach to all aspects of winemaking. Structure & balance are most critical, each varietal released is an accurate reflection of the style & the region.
Broken Earth Winery remains committed to sustainable ideals, their goal is to respect the land and its treasures with the belief that the soil will give its best only if it ‘feels’ its best, so attention to the earth’s health is critical for Obvious Wines.
VILLEBOIS WINERY
It all started in 2004 when Joost de Willebois spotted a small well-run local winery in the Touraine region. The owner at the time established himself with a long tradition of producing the finest local Sauvignon Blanc wines however he lacked a successor.
Joost recognised this as a golden opportunity to transform the small winery into a wider producer of quality Sauvignon Blanc wines from the Loire region; Sancerre, Pouilly-Fumé and Touraine.
With the support of his wife, Miguela and a small group of close friends, Joost began the Villebois’ adventure. Since its start, Villebois has grown its business year in year out to what it has become today.
At Obvious Wines, their goal is to simplify the wine selection process and make learning more approachable, while providing quality wines from small production vineyards all over the world. That is why they designed these clear, playful and educative labels for their wine collection.
The front label describes the wine with a taste-oriented name and simple hashtags, while the back label gives a lot of information about the wine: where it is from, how it is made, the food pairings, tasting notes.
2012 Red blend, Broken Earth Winery, Paso Robles, CA. Limited Production is available for delivery in California only.
Surprise of the year! Considering the price, this wine is a hidden treasure. Perfect for almost any occasion. Fruity, smooth, medium bodied, loves the air (give it 10-15 mins). Watch out for this wine in 2018! Highly recommended. Best quirky back/front labels too! The BEST wine below $20 in CA right now.
