When we first embarked on this journey we wanted to understand how to craft high-quality natural wine. As longtime enthusiasts of natural wines, it was crucial for us to produce a wine with minimal human or chemical intervention. With an understanding of the difficulty of the task, we first settled on an easier goal - make drinkable natural wine, not vinegar!

From 2020 to 2023, our learning and experimentation continued. We collaborated with a farmer named Joe to deepen our understanding of viticulture. During these years, we experimented with various grape varieties such as Cabernet Franc, Riesling, and Gewürztraminer, and tried new techniques within the principles of natural winemaking. And yes, as anticipated, we made vinegar along the way.

Despite all our testing, tasting, and, frankly, more wine consumption than we'd care to admit, one thing kept tormenting us. None of the wines we made were quite as interesting as our first Concord wine.

If you've ever found yourself in a conversation with us, you'd know we're no strangers to terrible ideas. What follows is a great example of this.

We thought - “Okay, but what if we built our wine project around our love for Concord?”
