The Brand
Beginning as an ‘underground’ project of passion and community, we first used grapes given to us by generous friends to make playful wines to share with our close mates and family.
In 2022, a major piece of the REW puzzle came to fruition, when trailblazing wine growers Andy and Kyna Laurie offered us their grapes in exchange for our work tending to their dry-farmed, hillside vineyard, Escaroth.
The name Ripple Effect Wines is a nod to our happy place, the ocean, and ties in nicely with our dream to play a small part in something far bigger with this journey.
Jeremy has long been a surfer, and our efforts to conserve water through dry-farming techniques inspired a ‘lightbulb’ moment with the name Ripple Effect - something that encapsulates two of our biggest passions.
Beyond that, we genuinely hope that our journey will inspire others to have a crack. While our dream is to remain boutique, our intention is that the ripple effect will continue on to create big waves in the small, conscious, and deliciously made winemaking scene.
