Everwild is a small natural wine label built on a desire to live more slowly. After nearly a decade in the film industry left them burnt out, Talia St. Clair and Austin Hobart started making wine with the intention of inspiring people to eat, drink and consume in a way that is good for both their bodies and the earth.
Backstory
Talia St. Clair and Austin Hobart launched Everwild in 2020. They began by helping out some of the larger producers at the Richmond Wine Collective in California while making a few of their own cuvees on the side, gradually growing the project into its own label.
The Region
Everwild draws its fruit from the Sierra Foothills of California, the historic gold-country region east of Sacramento, while working out of the East Bay. The foothills' warm days, cool nights and old plantings suit the expressive, drink-now style the pair are after.
Vineyards & Farming
The duo source hand-crafted lots from the Sierra Foothills, focusing on fruit suited to their low-intervention approach rather than farming a single estate of their own.
Winemaking
Their winemaking is committedly low-intervention: minimal sulfur, and bottling without fining or filtration. Rather than blending finished wines, they favor co-fermentation as the moment of experimentation, often combining direct-pressed wine with macerating grapes in what they call the infusion method.
The Wines
The range is exploratory and small-lot, including orange wines such as Mabon Orange Muscat and Manna from Heaven, and playful reds and blends like Love Potion and Pense Pour Toi-Meme.
