Sager and Wine is an intimate network of friends who love wine. More specifically, wine that is created with a sense of stewardship to the land and is a poetic expression of its origin. We have been fortunate enough to pull many corks over the years and have come to realise the bottles which impact us most are those that speak of the time, place, and people that made them.

Our growers produce very little, and indeed, sometime next to nothing. They see the land as a precious asset and primary source of life rather than profit.

We believe in farming that gives back to the earth what it takes. That coexists with nature rather than working against it. More often than not, this involves a philosophy of organic or biodynamic agriculture, though each winemaker will have their own unique take.

 


Invariably, however, we believe in wines that are produced in the absence of chemical additives. In the cellar, to add is often to take away. There are countless shortcuts and oenological tricks that can be adopted to make wine quickly or with a specific outcome in mind. But real wine takes time and is often unpredictable in the making. It takes a deft hand and fastidious attention to detail to pull it off.
Thankfully, there is a wave of producers who are willing to try, including our own.

It’s an exciting journey for us here at Sager and Wine, and we hope you will enjoy discovering these wines, but more importantly the people and places behind them, who we’ve come to care about so much.
