Orange Wine from California

We picked Organic French Colombard, Gewürztraminer, and Albariño from Madera, Paso Robles, Potter Valley, and Lodi.

The whole berries were gently added to tank for a semi-carbonic fermentation for 7 days before being pressed. Fermentation was native with an experimental 10% Zinfandel field-blend coferment.

The skin-contact orange wine was aged sur lie before being racked off the thick lees and coarse filtered on a full moon's day. Each bottle was waxed by hand.

Unfined, Coarse Filtered, Native Fermentation and Semi-carbonic. <30 ppm of sulfur added. '23 Monje produced in Healdsburg, Sonoma County, California.

What is natural wine?

Also known as raw wine, or minimal intervention wine - we're all about letting our grapes sing and making wines that are living reflections of the land.

1. Farming

Our natural wines begin with sustainable farming: grapes grown using organic or biodynamic farming methodologies.

2. Spontaneous

We let the grapes undergo spontaneous fermentation by their own native and wild yeast as opposed to using lab-grown.

3. Winery

In the winery, we avoid the 60+ additives that are common in conventional wines like animal products, synthetic chemicals, flavorings, or manipulation like pasteurization.

Limited sulfur to protect the wines through bottling is the only addition.
