The LOLA Journey is more than wine—it's a deeper look into who we are and all we do.
It captures the rhythm of our growing season, the discoveries that inspire us, and the heritage behind every grape we grow.
With each LOLA wine, we honor centuries of tradition while embracing new perspectives—showing appreciation for the places, people, and histories that continue to shape our craft.
The Winemaking Journey
-
Dry Farming at LOLA
Dry farming relies on rainfall and the water naturally stored in the soil. At LOLA, it is both a sustainable practice and a way to grow more expressive fruit by letting the vines adapt naturally to their environment.
-
Organic Farming at LOLA
At LOLA, organic farming starts with healthy soil and balanced vines. By avoiding synthetic pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers, the vineyards support a healthier ecosystem and fruit that better reflects where it is grown.
-
Low Sulfite wine
Sulfites are common in wine, but how much a winemaker uses is a choice. At LOLA, healthy vineyards, clean fruit, and careful winemaking allow us to use less and let the wine speak for itself.
-
Low Alcohol Wine
At LOLA, balance matters more than ripeness. Most whites are around 11 to 12% alcohol, while the reds stay under 14%, reflecting grapes picked for freshness and balance rather than maximum sugar.
-
Vegan Wine at LOLA
Wine is not always vegan. Some winemaking methods use animal products during clarification. At LOLA, we do not, making every wine in the portfolio vegan.
-
Wine Certifications
Not every claim on a wine label is regulated. Certifications provide independent verification that a winery has met specific standards, helping separate verified practices from marketing language.
The Varietal Journey
-
What is Fiano?
Let’s get to know the newest addition to the LOLA lineup—just released in our summer club allocation and soon available to a few lucky LOLA fans!
-
What is Malvasia Bianca?
On a beautiful Saturday at the LOLA House, we set out to discover Malvasia Bianca—its Mediterranean roots, vibrant flavor profile, the inspirations behind how we craft it at LOLA, and the many ways it pairs beautifully with Bottarga.
-
What is Vermentino?
Many guests try it and pause, surprised by its freshness and vibrancy. For Seth, bringing this Mediterranean grape to the LOLA portfolio was a vision more than fifteen years in the making.
-
What is Melon (de Bourgogne)?
Best known as the grape behind the wines of Muscadet, it is prized for its crisp structure, subtle aromatics, and remarkable ability to reflect the place where it is grown.
-
What is Dry Muscat?
Muscat is often associated with sweet, floral wines. LOLA’s dry Muscat breaks that expectation with a crisp, refreshing expression, more Jura in style, savory, mineral, and distinctly dry.
-
What is Straw wine?
Straw wine is one of the oldest traditions in winemaking. At LOLA, this ancient method is used to create something unusual: a straw wine made from Muscat and fermented completely dry.
-
What is Albariño?
On Zinfandel Lane, in the heart of Cabernet country, six organically farmed acres of a Spanish white grape feel wonderfully out of place. Far from Galicia, yet remarkably compelling.
-
What is Charbono?
Some wines are familiar. Others survive because someone believed in them. LOLA’s Charbono is one of those wines, with one of California’s more unlikely stories.
-
What is Paseante Noir?
A new generation of grapes is starting to reshape California wine. LOLA’s Paseante Noir is part of that story, and one of the most interesting bottles coming out of Napa Valley.
