Megan's interest in skin fermented white wines was sparked in 2011 when it was still a new idea in this country. The time on the skins morphs the wine from fresh and fruity to complex and savory. This is her most-loved fermentation every year because she spends more time tending to it than any other wine. Extended skin maceration with white wine can be tricky, but with much effort this is one of her favorite things that she creates.Margins is a winemaking endeavor of Megan Bell, a winemaker living and working in the Santa Cruz Mountains.
Margins produces low-intervention wines using grapes from underrepresented regions, vineyards, and varietals. They are part of the growing movement in California to make wines from vineyards farmed organically or in organic conversion using minimal additives during the winemaking process, thereby showcasing the vineyards the grapes came from.
Much like people living on the 'margins of society,' vineyards can be outcasts too. Most consumers of wine are only familiar with a handful of grape growing regions and types of wine. Margins draws attention to vineyards and varietals throughout northern and central California that find themselves on the margins without the recognition they deserve.
Part of the Margins mission over the last five years has been to work with small growers to transition their vineyards from conventional to organic farming by providing guidance as well as assurance that the grapes will have a home. They believe that if they worked solely with organic vineyards, they would not be using their role in the industry to its full potential to enact agricultural change. As of vintage 2021, all the vineyards Margins works with are farmed organically.
