"Wabi-Sabi" refers to the Japanese idea of "perfectly imperfect."  Things are beautiful just as they are, without the varnish of flawlessness or socially-prescribed tropes.  In this spirit, the 2020 vintage steps away from typical Californian expectations and pays homage to the lighter-bodied table wines of Europe.  Enjoy at cellar temperature or with a slight chill. 

About Populis

Diego and Shaunt have one of the most unique winery setups in the country, if not the world. Tucked into the hills above Orinda, which is just a few minutes outside of Oakland, this duo crafts their flagship natural wines in the raised basement of Shaunt’s family home. That’s right, they lifted the house to make sure the cellar (er...basement) had room for their barrel stacks. It’s a true bootstrap operation but one that has yielded incredible wines beloved by natural wine enthusiasts.
