Wine

Human. Nature. Hope Well.

Hope Well wine is the alchemy between the natural world, my deep love for this ground and the unsung heroes whose strong hands, hearts and minds have helped me make it.

The landscape knows everything I want to learn in this life. Wine, for me, offers a different dimension of communication with my teacher and mentor, this place. The wordless communication of so many days and lessons culminates at harvest, and you are allowed communion and conversation.

October 9, 2022

Friends,

First and foremost, we finally have some Pinot Noir to sell again!

So, you will hear the usual words about the 2021 vintage: growing degree days, heat dome, early harvest, high quality, mmmm…. There could be no greater reward for all the work we did on that land than what we were gifted in parting: our most generous harvest ever brought to ripe perfection.

All current wines are available for purchase here, and you can read more about each individual wine here.

2021 Hope Well Pinot Noir
2021 Hope Well Strings Pinot Noir
2021 Hope Well Sunday’s Child Pinot Noir
2021 Hope Well Monday’s Child Pinot Noir Rosé
2021 Hope Well Tuesday’s Child Pinot Noir Rosé
2021 The Three Children (3,6, or 12 pack, includes equal number of each of the children)
2021 Hope Well Chenin Blanc
2021 Hope Well Hunter’s Moon Chenin Blanc

These are the last wines I made at my old site, at 12345 Oak Road (seriously, that was the address), and for that their stories carry special meaning, of patience and endurance, of loss and longing, and of the very special energy of beginnings that start with endings.

We are just beginning. Come along!

~ Mimi
