Martha Stoumen

Martha Stoumen did not grow up in wine country. She studied geography at UCLA, then apprenticed through six years of harvests across Tuscany, Australia, France, Sicily, and New Zealand before enrolling at UC Davis for a master's in enology and viticulture. She founded Martha Stoumen Wines in 2014 with a deliberate question as its mission: what does California taste like without manipulation? Her first vintage shipped in 2017. By 2018 she had sold out of 2,500 cases.

Stoumen sources from a collection of Northern California sites that most producers overlook. Mendocino County , warm, dry, and organically farmed by multi-generation families , provides the backbone of her range. Contra Costa County and Suisun Valley contribute old-vine material of striking character. She leases and farms roughly half of her vineyards directly; the rest comes from growers who share her commitment to dry farming and organic methods, certified or not.
