Winemaker: Emily Towe and Jody Brix Towe
Appellation: San Diego County, California
Grape Varieties: Pinot Gris
The Name: Nomine Amoris means “in the name of love” in Latin. Only Love is our motto in winemaking and life, and we love this Ramato-style expression of the Pinot Gris fruit.
From the site to the soil to the growing season, our wines, if we're doing our work correctly, will speak in their own voices. We adore the variety California has to offer, which means we find ourselves compelled to make tiny quantities of as many different wines as we can... and, we try to add a new grape or style each harvest. Our fruit comes from a number of vastly different, soul-stirring vineyards all over the state. We use neutral vessels, native-yeast fermentation, and absolutely nothing else, with the exception of sulfur dioxide as necessary. In keeping with this minimalist approach, we choose not to fine, filter or cold-stabilize our wines.
