MIRA IS DREAMS.
Mira is dreams. A project that we have been carrying in our minds for a while and finally managed to bring to light. Some parts needed time to mature, some, on the contrary, happened very spontaneously. Just like in nature, right?
It all starts with vineyards, as always: over the past couple of years, we have managed to acquire very interesting vineyards, in locations with a unique character. From the very beginning, we wanted to work with them in a slightly different way, to look for ways to let nature, freedom, art, and beauty – things that are essential in our lives – thrive.
Our hands are very, very light when guiding the vineyards. There is no cutting, rarely a human hand touches the vines. The shoots are literally allowed to touch the sun. We believe that this approach instills a particular character in the wine, liberty of movement that translates also to what's in your glass. The most important thing for us is to bring you joy, the opportunity to dream and fly with us.
Working in the cellar is all about the power of the moment. The magical moment of birth and transformation. We don't want to imprint any preconceived ideas on the wine, quite the contrary. We decide on the go, we let ourselves be fascinated, taught, and enriched by the wine itself, free from tradition, prejudices, and established patterns. We watch in wonder as a new individuality emerges. No standards, no comparison. We want to foster positivity, beauty, and life. These are our dreams.
Mira and Milan Nestarec
Inspired by Mira's background in dance and art (she's originally a ballet teacher), we dedicate the labels to these beautiful beings whose character reflects the wines.
