Why We Don’t Filter: The Case for Unfiltered Wine

At Madrone Cellars, we believe wine is at its best when it’s left to speak for itself. That’s why 100% of our wines and ciders are made unfiltered — no fining agents, no added sulfites, and no unnecessary interventions. Instead, we rely on time-honored practices and the natural power of lees to create expressive, honest wines protected by nature itself. This is more than a method — it’s our ethos.

Explore why unfiltered wine matters — and how it lets you taste the land, the season, and the story in every glass.
