Notes from the Winemaker: Cleopatra Wines (formerly known as Persephone Wines) are made in a little shed on the farm here in Basket Range, on the traditional land of the Peramangk people. They are completely zero-zero. They are fermented in an open-top barrel or in ceramic, and pressed in a vertical, wooden basket press. I have no formal wine training; I make wine with intuition and joy. - Rachel Signer
"A citrus-y, lightly tropical wine that delivers texture and nourishment onto your palate. An easy breezy solo drink, also delightful alongside a cheese and charcuterie platter thanks to the harmony of acidity, minerality, and fruitiness." - Rachel Signer
