Medea Sang Me A Corrido Pairing Bundle

Literally “It ain’t fancy”. A natural wine, with no additives beyond the wild yeast, and the lack of filtering or fining means it might sometimes have a cloudy appearance. A long ripening in the dry Chilean summers gives it a rich fruitiness, and a smooth finish. Plum, red fruit, with a spicy note of star anise. Vegan.

In Northern Mexico, Paulina, Perla, Antonia, Reina, and Jordan are striving to survive the barrio, hustling on the edge of a cartel-run economy, nursing the wounds made normal in a world that eats its own. Hovering over their trials is a spirit with gothic flair, dressed in black and crowned with braids: Medea, a mythic mother of the Chihuahuan desert, ancient as the Aztecs but never too old to be petty. From aiding a trophy girlfriend's abortion, to accompanying a mother in her search for her lost child in the desert, to embracing those taken too soon in the narco's brutal proxy wars, Medea fights for justice for her chosen mortals - her divine wrath the only power that could rival the corrupt, violent web spun by the cartel, the government, and the military.
