Forlorn Hope Wines
Artisan wines from rare grape varieties in a sustainable setting
Best known for: Unique wines from uncommon varieties
Forlorn Hope Wines, located in Napa, California, is known for making distinctive wines that highlight rare grape varieties.
Founded by Matthew Rorick, the winery celebrates the spirit of the longshot—honoring outsiders and lost causes in winemaking. Their wines are crafted from rare varietals and lesser-known appellations, especially from the limestone-rich soils of the Rorick Heritage Vineyard in the Sierra Foothills.
They focus on quality and craftsmanship, offering a selection of wines that are both unique and expressive of the land and the winemaking process. The winery's philosophy emphasizes sustainability and minimal intervention, using native yeasts and avoiding additives to let the true character of the vineyard shine through.
