Liwa Wines – A Modern Take on Classic Heritage
Rooted in Tradition, Driven by Purpose
Liwa Wines is a collaborative project between Inizi Winery, based in Guerneville, California, and a passionate team of winemakers dedicated to sustainability, authenticity, and community. Inspired by the iconic Austrian varietal Grüner Veltliner, Liwa crafts small-batch wines that bridge old-world tradition and California’s vibrant, modern energy.
Our Philosophy
At Liwa, wine isn’t just about what’s in the glass—it’s about the story behind every bottle. The name Liwa pays homage to connection: connection to the land, to the people who farm it, and to the traditions that guide thoughtful winemaking. Each vintage reflects this ethos, offering bright, expressive wines designed to elevate both casual meals and celebratory gatherings.
Commitment to Sustainability
Liwa is more than a winery—it’s a movement for mindful consumption and community care. A portion of every sale is donated to:
-
Native American Rights Fund – supporting Indigenous sovereignty and legal advocacy.
-
1% for the Planet – funding global environmental initiatives.
Sustainable farming practices, minimal-intervention techniques, and ethical sourcing ensure every bottle reflects respect for the earth and its communities.
Signature Style
Liwa specializes in Grüner Veltliner, an Austrian grape that thrives in California’s cool-climate vineyards. The result? A wine that is:
-
Crisp and citrus-driven with signature white pepper spice.
-
Mineral-backed for complexity and versatility.
-
Perfect for pairing with seafood, salads, or Asian-inspired cuisine.
