Company description
Les Lunes Wine is located in Richmond, CA. We produce low intervention wines with a dedicated focus on organic farming.
We started Les Lunes (and our second label Populis) with the mindset of paying respect to the rich history of viticulture in California and focusing on the varieties that put this state on the world wine map. By utilizing organic and regenerative farming practices, we've restored many historic vineyard sites throughout Sonoma and Napa. We strive to preserve these vines and let their complexity show through in the winemaking process. Our facility in the Bay Area also channels the spirit of urban winemaking and has afforded us the opportunity to support small farms, local farmers, and the greater community in general.
We work with a wide range of classic grape varieties as well as many lesser known varieties such as Carignane, Cinsault, Nero d'Avola, Picpoul, and Ribolla Gialla.
