Sensory Description:

On the nose, Mother greets you with delicate white flowers, a burst of citrus zest, and a whisper of dried apricot. The palate is lively and textured, with fresh apple, grapefruit peel, and ripe peach dancing together in perfect harmony. A hint of tannin from the skin contact gives structure, while the natural acidity keeps everything refreshing. Jessica describes it as “sunshine in a glass—zippy, bright, and made for good conversation.”

Winemaker’s Background:

Fallen Grape is built on a simple but powerful belief: natural wine should be accessible, fun, and full of life. Working with generational farmers and winemakers along California’s Central Coast, they focus on organic farming and minimal intervention techniques, letting the fruit shine without manipulation. Bottled and packaged locally, every step is done with sustainability in mind.

Pair with anything from spicy Thai takeout to a charcuterie board loaded with funky cheeses, olives, and fresh citrus. Or just enjoy it solo, because Mother always knows best.
