Three Revolutions Pairing Bundle

Cariñena is full of steep slopes, fluctuations in temperature, and is home to the cold cierzo winds that whip down through the Ebro valley. Its soil is often rocky and arid. Its summers scorch. Its winters freeze. And yet, in the face of hardship, Garnacha flourishes. Cariñena’s cold winds keep the mildew at bay, Cariñena’s hot summers endow the grapes with their trademark juicy richness.

Hall’s book asks the same question: What are the stories of these lands? What marks do they leave on their citizens? The Gran Ducay is bursting of hard-won dark-fruit flavour, from long days under the Spanish sun. It’s straightforward and dry, unafraid to do a simple thing well. Simon Hall follows six stories across three revolutions, through the freezing mountains of Tibet, across the storm-racked Gulf of Mexico, in a sealed train to Petrograd. These stories, too, have etched their indelible marks onto the world.
