ICON WINE
The artwork “Balance” by Carita Schmidt, known for her inspiring and life-affirming art, embodies the idea that the universe is
governed by balance and harmony. These principles can be found in everything we appreciate – from the finest art to exquisite wine.
The choice of “Balance” as the label for the Magic Mountain red wine symbolises the deep connection between art and winemaking,
two areas where balance and harmony are essential. Every sip of this exquisite wine reflects the care and precision with which it was
created – just like every brushstroke of Carita Schmidt’s artwork.
This painting as well as all the artworks that were featured at the MAGIC MOUNTAIN labels are on display at the art gallery of the same same at Château Νico Lazaridi Winery.
