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 wine dark pink in hue, acid-driven, best served chilled, and ideal alongside light dishes such as pizza or creamy pasta. Dried cranberries and stonefruits on the nose, a palate filled with aromatics such as sea breeze and crushed rose petals, and overall glou-glou in style." - Rachel Signer
