High against the Andes Mountains in Mendoza sits one of Argentina’s jewels: the Remolinos Vineyard. Here, in this tranquil environment, 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 Finca Decero’s vineyard. Their airflow defends their vines from spring frosts and keeps their grapes dry and cool during the summer. This intricately woven scene between two natural wonders, the winged predator and the wind, helps make their Remolinos Vineyard so distinctive and The Owl & The Dust Devil wine so exceptional.
The label makes a unique use of spot gold foil that is incorporated into the packaging to create a sense of movement in the “Dust Devil’ depicted in the illustration.
