Minimalist winemaking,
addition by subtraction.
Weatherborne produces limited production wines made from organic grapes from Anderson Valley and Mendocino County. We value craft and dedication, without pretense. The weather each year shapes what you find in the bottle.
We use minimal oak and plenty of whole cluster, giving the wine structure, yet without being heavy handed.
Methods
Why
Authenticity and transparency are endangered values in the wine world.
How
Craft, dedication and a sense of levity.
• whole-cluster fermentation
• minimal new oak
• unfined, unfiltered
• vegetarian/vegan friendly
• minimal processing, no additions
What
Pinot Noir, Grenache and Chenin Blanc from Mendocino and beyond
Clean, bright fruit, with good acidity; spice and savory characters round out the mouthfeel.
"A winemaker and wine to watch out for."
