LillianUSAMaggie Harrison was assistant winemaker to Manfred Krankl of Sine Qua Non for eight years before moving to Oregon to take over the winemaking position at Antica Terra. Started in 2004 with an inaugural release of 150 cases, Lillian represents Maggie’s personal project and reflects everything that she learned during her time at Sine Qua Non. What Maggie tries to capture with her wine is a certain sense of balance; a particular sensation of restraint. For a complete lack of a better word…a prettiness.She is making wines that are at once voluptuous, powerful and rich without ever being overbearing. Wines with a strong structure, but with a fine-ness and a lushness and a purity that for us is the embodiment of true femininity5 products were found for ‘Lillian’

Brambly, with hints of violet alongside dark blue and black fruits. Incredible purity of fruit on the body, this is rich and unctuous with integrated fine tannin and excellent balance.

Fine, balanced and pleasant syrah not trying to power through with bigness but rather saying more with subtle notes of pepper, leather, dark fruits. Gorgeous with wagyu.

We began working with a single acre of grenache on an undulating slope of Bien Nacido Vineyard in 2015. Last year, the resultant wine found it's highest form as a four percent addition to the 2015 Lillian syrah, the varieties finding their highest synergy and vibrancy as one. This year, the grenache demanded to be bottled alone. With all of the wines, from all varieties, we belive the highest achievemnet, the clearest marker of beauty is when the wine holds both intensity and levity in the same form. This w ine, of all we've ever made, may have gotten highest, done this best.
