OUR WINES

Take a look around your kitchen. A lot of your stuff has stuff in it. Yes, even your wine.

But not Manifesto!. We trust the quality and—aw, heck, we’ll say it—nobility of the grapes and their source, the land and our growers. We don’t add weird enhancers, and we leave the sugar for our espressos and mojitos. You won’t find it in our wine. We let the grapes be grapes.

Here’s something else cool we do: We let the wine rest on its natural lees. What this creates in muscle tension for us—the fermentation is far more complicated this way—pays off in flavor and complexity for you. Don’t worry. We do it for you. Plus, we get massages.

On the Cab and SB pages we’re going to give you some fancy wine talk. And make no mistake—it is fancy. We actually think it deserves to be. We’ve set out to make wine that can be spoken of in reverent tones. Just know that when we speak that way we’re drying a wetsuit in the corner, heading to dinner on our cruiser bikes or playing The Clash.

Some of you might care deeply about “tasting notes” and “mouthfeel” and “nose.” We’re with you for sure. Some of you might just drink some Manifesto! and simply think, “Holy…” We’re with you too. For sure.
