Meeting whilst studying at Plumpton in 2017; Sam Bunker & David Haynes officially started their 'international wine collective' Quatro Mustachios in 2020.
Working at vineyards across Europe, alongside the 3rd and 4th Mustachios - Teo Vitsas & Matthias Altmann - the four produced the first collaborative wine under the Quatro Mustachios tag in Austria at Matthias' cellar.
Sam & Dave later produced two more wines in Catalunya and Ribeira Sacra in 2021, before returning home to the UK, to focus on their mutual love of hybrids/PIWI's.
The first UK releases for Quatro Mustachios were produced in 2022 with zero additions in Sussex, using fruit from a 50-year-old vineyard in Somerset, and the other varieties coming from a vineyard on clay over sandstone in East Sussex.
Their wines are huge fun, a testament to intuitive, experimental winemaking and the wild potential of PIWIs in the right hands
