Yogi is an Indian origin word and a way of life that gravitates towards nature and humanity. It is amply inspired by the Karma Yoga. It is a sum total of our earnest production commitment that adheres to celebrating nature, human values and honest trade practises.
It is a limited production, special red wine blend, exclusively created in France for the French Native who has a fondness for Asian food. It is the first recorded wine of repute in Europe that pairs well with Asian cuisine that encompasses Thai, Indian, Japanese, Chinese and Vietnamese.
The entire process is manual and labour-intensive. Each plant is clearly identified and painstakingly nurtured during growth. The number of grapes in a bunch is kept to a bare minimum to ensure right levels of acidity and sugar content. The excess grapes are removed to purposely balance taste and quality.
Yogi is an Organic wine, certified by AB – Agriculture Biologique. The certification for the AB label fulfils the EU regulations for organic food.
