The Story

Archetype12 is built upon this reflective property inherent within wine, and as such, just as there are 12 established archetypes that collectively depict the whole of humanity, these same 12 symbolic representations depict archetypal characterizations of all wines that you may know and love. Take The Innocent for an example... This graceful white wine, often manifesting through a Rhône varietal such as ​Marsanne, is certain to be pure of heart, virtuous, and optimistic. In its deepest form, it promises a return to an almost simplistic oneness yielding a refreshing sense of renewal... In all actuality, those same noble attributes that describe the wine, are also likely to be present within those individuals who most appreciate it.

The Values

Archetypes are timeless characters found in stories, folktales, and narratives that resonate deeply within us all on a subconscious level. They represent universal concepts transcending races, religions, and languages, to create shared understanding among diverse communities. Just as figures like The Caregiver and The Magician evoke familiar emotions and experiences, Archetype12 Wines crafts new releases with the intention of allowing each Archetype to reveal their own essence. Their hope is that their wines not only reflect your personality but also provide a sense of connection and familiarity, drawing you in timeand time again.
From the winery
The premise is simple...Wine, when crafted right, offers you the truest reflection of your self. While good wine may cause you to pause and take a moment to think, great wine invites you to peer into its graceful depths and marvel at who you find within.
