Each of the 12 bottles in a case has a different front label drawing of an oyster with a pearl inside and each represents a Pearl that embodies: Kindness, Love, Joy, Forgive, Laugh, Hope, Dream, Give, Beauty, Believe, Listen and Remember. Each Pearl is accompanied by an inspirational quote to remind us of these important values.

Each oyster represents the Pearmund Team’s passion for local agriculture and aquaculture. With the sale of each bottle of Pearl, Pearmund Cellars will help repopulate oysters in the Chesapeake by growing and releasing 20,000 oysters in all in 2023 to the lower Rappahannock River. Chris and Greg both shared a love of sailing and a love of the Bay as well as a commitment to help preserve the treasure we have in its bounty.
