THE STORY

Over the course of three days there have been numerous reports from witnesses hearing strange noises in the local vineyards. There were no definite sightings until Monday 26th April when the creature first came into view. It was first spotted among the Durif and the Shiraz and then later in the Touriga. It is likely that this was the same creature but it is too early to confirm at this stage.

It was finally tracked down to the Studio, where a few hardy souls were able to harness it, bound by oak clasped in metal. A brooding vinous core, beating frenzied passion through its veins, thick and deep as blood. Responsive to pleasure and pain alike.
