"Crush: Message in a Bottle" is a manifesto for change, exploring eco-conscious practices and low intervention winemaking through artisanal winemakers and growers who represent changing diversity and inclusivity in the industry. An emotionally evocative, cinematic portrait of four seasons in a new fine wine region, culminating in one of the most difficult harvests in recent history, "Crush" is ultimately a testament to the challenges of producing an exceptional bottle of wine against all odds.
Update: Meet one of the film's subject Kelly Mason for a Q&A following the film:
Featured in the film, Kelly Mason is a first generation female farmer devoted to the risky, hands-on craft of low intervention wild fermentation winemaking. She is the founder of Mason Vineyard, a small batch winery — driven to crafting exceptional estate single vineyard Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Cabernet Franc wines.
