Meet the w**emaker behind Domaine Fortier. 🍷
Stephen Fortier brings a pretty unique background to the world of w**e. With a doctorate in systems engineering, an undergraduate minor in chemistry, an Enology Certificate from UC Davis, and WSET Level 2 certification, there’s plenty of science behind what goes into each bottle.
But for Stephen, great w**e still begins in the vineyard.
His approach to w**emaking is centered around balance, bringing together fruit, acidity, tannin, and alcohol while allowing the character of the grapes and each vintage to shine through.
It’s a combination of science, patience, and a genuine love for the craft, and you can taste a little bit of all three in every bottle of Domaine Fortier w**e. 🍇🍷
