I had a lovely time talking about all the nuances with wine with Ally! Check out her page for more badass women in wine! ALSO, if you want Zee Rosy Bubbles There are only 6 cases left! You can purchase at the link in bio!
Posted with @withregram • @thefemmevine I love a wine (and a winemaker) that doesn't take itself too seriously. So naturally, when I saw the label of @wildflowerwinery ‘Zee Rosy Bubbles' I fell in love with its energy, taste, and of course, the wonderful woman behind it.
The wine - This Grenache pet-nat has a dusty, grapefruit pink color and aromas of strawberry, lemon rind, raspberry leaf and vanilla bean. On the palate, it's dry and slightly spicy towards the end. Natalie told me that her wines shouldn't force you to analyze anything - they should just be about enjoyment. So pour a glass, and enjoy!
The woman - Natalie told me that she's always loved fermentation - from kombucha to kefir to sourdough, she's done it all, and after taking a WSET wine course, she decided to get into the fermentation of grapes, too. She named her label ‘Wildflowers’ as an homage to her family (her grandfather, who was Cherokee, was called Poppy) and to the beautiful poppy flowers that appear in Europe every Spring (she called Italy home for a few years!). Natalie works with farmers who believe in sustainability and consider the entire ecosystem of a vineyard and she crafts natural, low intervention wines from their bounty. She doesn't want anyone to be short-sighted about the potential of grapes and loves showcasing all the different things a varietal can become.
Thank you for being a part of the vine Natalie! 🌱🥂💗
