A Tale of Eternal Love
Discover a fable born out of a shared love for nature, the skies that nurture our vines and the land in which they are rooted, like this refined Pinot Noir. It showcases the love affair between the soft, feminine side of Pinot, namely the floral notes, hints of spice and silkiness; and the masculine linear strength of the tannins, with hints of oak and brooding dark forest floor aromas.
A Tale of Eternal Love
1
L ong ago, in the breath-taking islands of Seychelles, where the sea sparkled like diamonds and the rocks jutted majestically out of the turquoise waters, there lived a beautiful fairy named Nari. She was a spirit of the islands, graceful and ethereal, with shimmering wings that caught the sunlight as she danced among the lush forests and coral reefs. Nari was known for her kindness and her deep connection to nature, guiding the winds and the tides to ensure that the islands remained lush and vibrant. In the same waters, there lived a crocodile named Rokar, a creature unlike any other. Though feared by many for his powerful jaws and immense size, Rokar was a wise and thoughtful soul, keeping mostly to himself in the hidden coves and quiet rivers. He spent his days exploring the waters and watching over the creatures of the sea, always careful to maintain the balance of nature. One day, as Nari flew over a secluded lagoon, she saw Rokar resting on the rocks, his scales glistening in the sunlight. Drawn by curiosity, she descended from the sky, landing softly beside him. They began to talk, and as the hours passed, they realised how much they shared in common—a love for the islands, a desire to protect its beauty, and a deep understanding of the natural world.

Over time, their meetings became more frequent, and what began as a friendship blossomed into a forbidden love. Nari and Rokar, though different in form and nature, found a connection that transcended the boundaries of their worlds. They spent their days exploring the hidden corners of the islands, laughing and dreaming together, and at night, they met beneath the stars, whispering their hopes and fears to one another. However, their love was not meant to be. The spirits of the islands, who ruled over the land and sea, forbade such a union between a creature of the earth and a creature of the skies. Nari and Rokar were heartbroken, but they refused to be separated. In defiance of the spirits, they vowed to be together forever, no matter the cost. One night, as they sat by the shore, holding one another beneath the moonlight, the spirits unleashed their wrath. The sea rose in a mighty storm, and the winds howled with fury. The lovers, caught in the storm’s rage, knew they could not escape their fate. In their final moments together, Nari and Rokar made one last wish: to be together always, even if they could no longer live as they once had. Moved by the strength of their love, the spirits, though angered, granted their wish—but with a sorrowful twist. Nari and Rokar were transformed into islands, their bodies becoming part of the very landscape they had cherished.

Nari, the fairy, became the island of Mahé, her form soft and rolling, full of lush greenery and gentle slopes. Rokar, the crocodile, became a rocky islet, his jagged form rising from the sea, always close to Nari but forever separated by the waters that surrounded them. To this day, the people of Seychelles say that the unique shape of the islands and the rocks that rise from the sea are a reminder of the fairy and the crocodile’s love—forever near, yet tragically apart. Their story is whispered by the waves and echoed by the winds, a tale of forbidden love and eternal longing, woven into the very fabric of the Seychelles landscape.
