LUMEN WINES
Santa Maria Valley, California, USA
Will Henry and Lane Tanner share a common vision: to make wines from the best cool-climate vineyards in Santa Barbara County, and to follow a regimen consistent with California’s early days of hands-on, honest winemaking. The duo asserts that the most balanced (and thus memorable) wines are made from fruit that is picked relatively early on the harvest calendar, the end result being a wine that is livelier on the palate, deeper in complexity, lower in alcohol, and more worthy of cellaring. Lumen has a strict commitment to honest and healthy winemaking practices, sources fruit from sustainably certified and biodynamic vineyards, and is a member of 1% For The Planet – donating 1% of all sales to environmental causes.
