Description
Evan Lewandowski initially made his way to Salt Lake City to attend the University of Utah — or really, to ski. Sticking around after graduation, Evan began working at a local wine bar. It was here that Evan began developing a passion for natural wine and a dream of becoming a winemaker himself.
After working at Domaine Binner in Alsace for several years, Evan Lewandowski moved back to his adopted state of Utah in 2012 to start his own small project. With the intention to someday plant and grow 100% of his grapes in Utah, Evan began purchasing his fruit from Fox Hill Vineyard and Testa Vineyard in Mendocino County, trekking the organic, dry-farmed and alternate grape varieties in his refrigerated U-Haul to his home in Salt Lake City to complete fermentation, maturation and bottling.
While Evan moved his operations entirely to California in April 2018, his L-shaped labels remain a tribute to his adopted state. His winemaking is rooted in his hands-off philosophy, crafting heartfelt, honest wines made to showcase site & season.
Handpicked from the Fox Hill vineyard in Mendocino County planted on rocky, sandy clay loam. alluvium, derived from sedimentary rock, mainly sandstone & farmed organically.
Carbonic macerated for 12 days until the fruit was foot trodden and allowed to macerate for an additional 2 days. Pressed early to a combination of steel, plastic egg & large format old oak where full natural malolactic fermentation occurred. The resulting wine remained on lees for 5 months before it was racked and bottled. Unfined, unfiltered and a total of 23ppm SO2.

We don’t tell you what to drink. You don’t need to know your varietals, regions or vintages, and you certainly don’t need to pretend you do. Tell us what you like, hate, what you’ve tried or curious about — we’ll take it from there. Sometimes the best bottle is the one you didn’t know you wanted.
