Lo-Fi is a partnership between two lifelong friends who believe in hand crafted honest wines that are made for every day drinking. Wines to be enjoyed not to be collected. Easy drinking lower alcohol wines made to pair well with all types of foods, from pizza to paté.

We believe in neutral barrels, native yeasts, little to no sulfur additions, and no adjustment of pH. We love whole cluster fermentation. We adore carbonic maceration . We embrace a nothing added, nothing taken away philosophy that gives birth to wines that are young, vibrant and alive.

But in all reality Lo-Fi is less about what it is and more about what it is not.

Our dedication to sustainability and organic practices shines through in every step of our winemaking journey. From carefully hand-harvested grapes to utilizing only organic methods in cultivation, we prioritize environmental responsibility.

These grapes undergo a meticulous process, starting with fermentation using the carbonic maceration technique in large sealed oak tanks, where 100% whole clusters are employed. Daily pump overs ensure a thorough fermentation, with any excess juice carefully removed. After nearly two weeks, the grapes are pressed, and the juice is blended with previously removed juice to complete fermentation.

Following this, the wine is racked to barrels and wooden tanks the next day, relying solely on native yeasts and bacteria for both primary and secondary fermentation. We abstain from using sulfur during harvest, adhering to our commitment to minimal intervention. To maintain our minimalist philosophy, we add only a total of 30 ppm so2.

It is not over manipulated. It is not over extracted. It is not over ripe and it is not over priced.

Less is more.
