Wind Gap the story
“Wind Gap is not about making the “perfect” wine. It’s about making honest, authentic and compelling wine from special vineyard sites. What interests us about wine is what makes it different-the subtle nuances and characteristics that tell a particular wine’s story, regardless of appellation.” pax mahle
