CALIFORNIA GROWN, MIDWESTERN ROOTED
Our mission is to craft delicious wine.
We source organically farmed grapes from California terroir to create small batch wines with minimal intervention and Midwest sensibilities - honoring the threads that connect home and calling.
​​
Each bottle is a tribute to remarkable vineyards and the people who nurture them.​​​
We believe the beauty of a wine is in how little it’s asked to change.
Fates' Lieutenant focuses on cool-climate, coastal vineyards—sites shaped by ocean influence and tended sustainably. These growing conditions, paired with natural farming practices, allow for complexity, clarity, and authentic expression of place.
​
We harvest at optimal ripeness to preserve vibrancy and balance, aiming for moderate alcohol and bright acidity.
In the cellar, we honor nature’s chemistry. Our approach emphasizes native yeast fermentation, gentle maceration, minimal sulfites, and no additives.​​​
