Fuego y Alma began with two people, not a business plan. Wine and food have always been his language; she grew up between two cultures, two languages, two ways of seeing color. When they fell in love, they realized their two mediums — his wine, her painting — were really one instinct wearing two faces.

Brasa and Eclipse are their first releases — shaped by Texas grit and Mexican soul, named for the things that don’t need to roar to be felt. He picks the fruit and shapes the blends. She paints each label by hand. Everything else they make will follow that same rule: two people, one wine.
