Oorlogswijn #[nn]

A civilian in a light suit sits at the center of a muddy World War I trench, flanked by helmeted soldiers on all sides, while massive wine barrels loom behind them — stained with vivid splashes of red. Pelaez and Porcel craft an immediately arresting image that fuses the horrors of the Western Front with the world of wine, promising a story where vineyards and warfare collide in unexpected ways. This 2022 Dutch-language album from Saga Uitgaven announces itself with quiet menace and atmosphere to spare.
