Onward
Onward produces wines in Napa County's North Coast region, where cool maritime influences shape the character of the vineyard. The winery focuses on Malvasia and Pinot Noir, exploring both still and sparkling expressions. Its Skin Fermented Malvasia Bianca demonstrates the potential of this varietal when handled with textural intention, while the Pétillant Naturel Malvasia Bianca Sparkling captures the grape's aromatic profile in a lightly effervescent form. A Pétillant Naturel Rosé of Pinot Noir rounds out the portfolio, offering the brightness and delicacy characteristic of the style. Wine Enthusiast has rated these releases. The winery's approach centers on low-intervention winemaking that allows the fruit and fermentation to drive the final expression.
