Top 10 : Women Winemakers

By: Treve Ring
To celebrate International Women's Day, we're highlighting women winemakers
Top 10 : Women Winemakers
Top Ten

It's always a good idea to think about where your wine came from.

Including whom it came from. 

In light of International Women's Day, March 8, 2021, we highlight an expanded Top 10 list of wines made by women winemakers that have inspired us at GOW.

Through mentorship, access to education, community and science, strides forward are gained daily worldwide for women in wine. For many, it has never been a straightforward, speedy, easy ferment. As with vines, it seems, the struggle and resiliency often lead to brilliant results. Thanks to the many trailblazing women who came before, lead now and inspire a future in which all women, and wine, will rise to even greater heights.
