I started Lady of the Sunshine in 2017 as a playful expression of wines that focus on farming, prioritizing organic and biodynamic vineyard sites, and making wine without additives or manipulation.  The ultimate goal is to make fun, fresh, what we call, breakfast wines, that are built on the mantra, "know your farmer". I've drawn inspiration from my home, and from the regions and other winemakers I've worked with in France, New Zealand, Oregon and Napa. My personal growth in my trade is inspired by Old World winemaking techniques, from a simpler time, when less was more.

 

 

Lady of the Sunshine only works with vineyards practicing organic farming techniques or better. All of the wines are fermented using native yeast, natural acidity, minimal amounts of sulfur, and neutral french oak barrels. The wines are moved off the lees only once for bottling, & are always unfined and unfiltered. These wines are made with intention, love, and a deep respect for the land, carrying with them the spirit of the place in which they come from.
