Terroir is an almost mythic, but very real concept in which all the environmental factors associated with growing crops in a specific region not only create an optimal environment for the plants to thrive, but impart a distinct character that nowhere else in the world can replicate. Perhaps you prefer wines from Bordeaux, France, because of the notably complex taste the dry soil imparts to wines grown in that region. Maybe you prefer to use a Neroli essential oil from that trip you took to Marrakech because you swear you can smell the local Seville oranges in the intoxicating scent. When ingredient standards are noticeably elevated, the change in quality is often immediately apparent. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We interpret terroir in our own way, allowing the principle to help guide a meticulous ingredient sourcing process that focuses on the health and efficacy of each botanical. It took years of searching the globe to find our incomparable growers, many of whom had been quietly perfecting their craft season after season, and sometimes, generation after generation. These are individuals with a deep and beautifully nuanced understanding of, and respect for, the crops they passionately produce. They wait patiently for the familiar signs that tell them the optimal time to harvest has arrived, when the plant’s healing and nourishing properties are at their absolute peak. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #Terroir #VintnersDaughter #NatureKnowsBest #MotherEarth #FewerBetter
