Woods focuses on making wines with little or no sulfur, and without any fining, filtering, or cultured yeasts. Woods wines are made from carefully cultivated grapes, sourcing from vineyards that are biodynamic, organic, or dry-farmed. Unique grapes such as Corvina, Valdiguie, Chenin Blanc, and Carignan showcase a breadth of style and creativity. Woods also uses more classic California grapes like Sauvignon Blanc, Merlot, and Zinfandel, but with novel techniques like skin-contact fermentation and minimal-extraction saignée.
