The Puppet is a tribute to the art of balance, where minimalist winemaking meets ancient storytelling. Inspired by the timeless beauty of shadow puppetry, each bottle reflects the harmony of light and dark—delivering wines that are rich in texture and vibrant in flavor. Just like the stories that endure through time, our wines are crafted to leave a lasting impression, blending tradition and innovation in every sip.
