Talia St. Clair, Everwild
Confederated Villages of Lisjan, Ohlone, Muwekma (Ohlone) – Richmond, California
I grew up running wild in the foothills of California where I learned a deep respect for nature as an ally and teacher. With my partner Austin Hobart, Everwild was born from a desire to reconnect with those elemental truths surrounding our interdependence with each other and the earth, and to engage in the creation of something tactile that requires patience, presence and devotion.
We approach our winemaking as art and craft - weaving the wisdom of tradition and process with curiosity and experimentation aimed at expanding consciousness and promoting nonconformity.
Our wines are handcrafted, unfined and unfiltered, with zero commercial yeast and zero SO2. We work with organic and biodynamic vineyards and farmers whose practices show care and reverence for the land, animals, and people they touch.
For me winemaking is a return to my roots, a practice and an invitation for being… everwild.
Social Justice and Environmental Restoration Statement
We work with farmers who prioritize stewardship and regeneration of the land in the vineyard, operating with organic and biodynamic practices and a respect for all life that goes into the success of their farming — from the organisms that comprise the biome of the soil to the people who care for the vines and harvest the fruit.
