Discovino started, fittingly, on a dance floor. It is the first commercial bottling from Wonderwerk, the California natural-wine project of childhood friends Issamu Kamide and Andrew Lardy, and the idea took shape after the pair attended a Despacio disco event. The result is an unserious-on-the-surface, seriously made rose built for sharing.
The People
Issamu Kamide and Andrew Lardy met in high school in Virginia before relocating to California to launch their label. Wonderwerk is their playground for low-intervention winemaking, and Discovino is its calling card.
The Region
Wonderwerk works out of Los Angeles and Gilroy, California, vinifying at the Atelier des Savants Fous custom-crush facility in Gilroy. Fruit is sourced from California growers.
Winemaking
The Wonderwerk approach leans on co-fermentation, piquette, and botanical infusions, with a light hand in the cellar. Discovino Donna Rose is the playful, easy-drinking expression of that philosophy: low intervention, high spirits.
The Wines
Discovino centers on rose made for pouring at parties rather than studying in silence. It sits alongside Wonderwerk's wider range of orange wines, spritzy low-alcohol bottlings, and infused cuvees.
