Visibility is Power. Place is Proof.

WOO GIRL! Cellars was founded on the belief that visibility changes outcomes — and that sharing more stories of women in winemaking expands what people imagine is possible.

Opportunities in wine are abundant, but representation shapes access. WOO GIRL! exists to increase representation across age, background, and lived experience — and to build a winery where joy and excellence are not mutually exclusive.

Today, that mission is expressed through estate stewardship in Lodi: farming decisions made with accountability, wines made with intention, and a community built around supporting the work behind the bottle.

VINIFICATION


Woo Girl Cellars Vineyard and grape

Vegan Rosé, With Structure and Intent

At WOO GIRL! Cellars, rosé is produced as a serious wine: dry, aromatic, food-friendly, and designed for year-round drinking. The goal is freshness and clarity without losing texture or depth.

Because we farm our own vineyards and control the fruit from vine to harvest, our wines do not rely on additives, corrections, or residual sugar to achieve balance.

Each rosé is:

  • Vegan

  • Zero residual sugar

  • Made without additives

  • Produced as a single-vineyard expression

These characteristics are not decisions made in the cellar alone.
They are the natural result of farming for balance, harvesting with intention, and working with fruit that does not need to be fixed.

This is what it looks like when farming comes first.

Still and sparkling wines are made to reflect balance: brightness, a clean finish, and the kind of precision that works at the table as easily as it does at a celebration.

Farming this way allows our wines to remain dry, additive-free, vegan, and true single-vineyard expressions.
