Mira is dreams. A project that we have carried in our minds for a long time and, after years, have finally managed to bring into the light of day. Some parts of the project needed time to mature, while others were created very spontaneously. Just like in nature. Over the past few years, we have managed to acquire some very interesting vineyards together, in locations that have a unique character. From the beginning, we wanted to work with them in a slightly different way, seeking ways to let nature, freedom, art, and beauty speak even more. These are the things that are essential in our lives. Our hands, which guide the vineyards and wines, are very, very free.
We take a very free approach with the vineyards, where no pruning is done, and human hands rarely touch them. The vines literally have the chance to reach for the sun.
We believe this approach instills character in the wine right from the beginning, a character that reaches your glass. And that is the most important thing for us. To bring you joy, the possibility to dream, and to fly with us.
Work in the cellar is about the power of the moment. The magical moment of creation and transformation, which is defining for us. It teaches and enriches us. We don’t want to impose our ideas on the wine; in fact, it’s the opposite. We act in the moment, allowing ourselves to be fascinated, free from tradition, prejudice, and established patterns. We watch in amazement as a new individuality is born. We have no metrics, no comparisons. We want to develop positivity, beauty, and life. Those are our dreams.
