This December, the founders of Goodbye Horses and The Dreamery, Alex Young and George de Vos, are opening a wine shop inspired by their love for the unexpected. Located in a striking glass-surrounded space with carved volcanic rock throughout, the centre of the venue will be a counter constructed from hundreds of oak ‘logs’ piled on one another, with wine bottles slipping in between, on which a selection of ever-changing natural wines that highlight the team’s passion for ‘zero-zero’ wines (nothing added, and nothing removed) will be presented.
