L. Mawby

L. Mawby produces sparkling wines in Michigan, drawing on the region's cool-climate conditions and limestone-rich soils. The winery focuses on méthode champenoise-style bottlings built from Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Pinot Gris—varieties well-suited to the Great Lakes terroir. The Cremant Classic Brut and Talis Brut, both blends of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay with the latter incorporating Pinot Gris, represent the house's core expressions. Wine Advocate has rated these releases, reflecting their standing among prestige critics. Michigan's continental climate and diurnal temperature swings create the conditions for high-acid, mineral-driven sparkling wines—a profile that distinguishes the state's fizz from warmer regions.
