METHODE Sauvage
“ Methode Sauvage, which translates to “The Wild Method,” has since become one of California’s most cutting-edge natural wine producers and the wines are simply stunning.”
Chad Hinds started Methode Sauvage in 2013. This adventure began when he started going to culinary school at Bauman College, where he learned the holistic way of food and winemaking. After working harvest, and being a helping hand at several wineries (Dirty & Rowdy, Wind Gap - Pax Mahle & Scott Schultz), he began to strive to find a voice for California Cabernet Franc and Chenin Blanc from all over the state.
In the Spring of 2018 he started planting a vineyard in the California Alps of Siskiyou County, using the permaculture methods laid out by Masanobu Fukuoka. In the spirit of this new project he have begun experimenting with wine styles and varietals from the Alps of Europe.
Chad seeks to make wine with a sense of place by employing no additives, and removing no character.
He explores a diverse array of exceptional vineyard sites, with the goal of channeling terroir, and showcasing California’s diversity.
