How We Make Wine
Cheers to Better!
At Mom Juice, we take pride in our winemaking process, ensuring every bottle reflects our commitment to quality and community. Here’s a peek behind the curtain at how we create the exceptional, quality wines that you have come to love so much:
A Thoughtful Selection Process
Our winemaker extraordinaire, Brian Kosi, begins with a comprehensive tasting of the grapes as they ferment. Each batch of grapes that will eventually become Mom Juice is evaluated for its integrity and customer fit, ensuring that we only select the finest grapes that will yield high quality wine. We take our time collaborating closely to refine flavors and achieve the perfect balance of mouthfeel, aromatics, color, and of course, taste!
Natural Treatment Methods
We prioritize natural processes in our winemaking. Whether it’s aging in oak barrels to using tartaric acid for cleansing, our focus is on minimal intervention and maximum flavor. We stay away from animal products, dairy, and all major allergens in the production of our wine and we only work with manufacturers who do the same. Rigorous lab testing at every stage guarantees that every bottle of Mom Juice that ends up in your home is true to our values.
Building Trust with Growers
Some might think that not owning our own vineyard would be a setback, not us, though. We see it as an opportunity to foster an entire ecosystem. Our team has built lasting relationships built on trust and shared values with small, local growers. Not only do we (and you!) support small Black and woman-owned businesses but we’re creating a never-before-seen sharing economy of growers, manufacturers, and consumers working in tandem to set new standards for the winemaking industry. We believe in nurturing quality and community together.
Our wines undergo extensive testing—up to five cycles—ensuring consistency from grape to glass. We employ monthly barrel quality assurance checks to make sure that everything is developing as it should. Brian, a master, seasoned winemaker, is able to detect deficiencies solely by taste, and will run labs to confirm any suspicions of formula imbalances. At Mom Juice, we work tirelessly to uphold the standards that our community deserves, delivering wines that you can both trust and enjoy.
