Donna Says crack a can of something better!
Perhaps post yoga or workout, unloading the truck, that moment when the kids get home, Tuesday night, a mate's BBQ, poolside, picnics or watching the footy (that's Aussie for football).
What's Fermentation
Donna Says are fermented beverages, and fermented to dry.
What does that mean and why is it so important?
Fermentation is yeast feasting on sugar. Fermented to dry like what we do, is when yeast do their awesome job of eating every last little bit of sugar, converting it into alcohol so that no sugar remains.
We call it the magic of fermentation and don’t stop there with our incessant desire for amazing taste, stunning aromatics, top-notch quality.
Who's Donna
G'Day, I'm Donna, an Aussie who moved to Napa Valley to live on the land, rolling up my sleeves dry-farming grape vines organically and making beautifully approachable wines.
Farming taught me how to care for the land and wine making sparked my curiosity about all thing’s fermentation.
I began fermenting ginger for my gut health, combining foraged and seasonal fruits, citrus and botanicals, and was blown away by the vibrant aromatics and flavors. I realized I was crafting something unique that I couldn't buy.
Tasty and clean beverages made with real ingredients and no added sugar or BS. Then the Aussie in me was like, “why isn’t there any moderate alcohol in these clean and tasty bevvies!”
No more to overly sweet ginger drinks I said to myself, and swiftly embarked on a mission to bring better beverages loaded with goodness, refreshing warmth and absolutely no shame, to you.
Simply put, I rolled up my sleeves!
