Fog Monster
Fog Monster Wines was started by Andrea Mullineux and her husband Chris in 2012. Andrea grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area and studied winemaking at UC Davis before working several vintages in Napa and then travelling to learn in wine regions abroad. On a stint in the South of France she met Chris, and they settled in South Africa where they started and run Mullineux & Leeu Family Wines.
The Fog Monster name was inspired by the strong and sometimes dominant influence the fog off the Pacific Ocean has on the terroir of Coastal Californian vineyards.
California is a warm place with abundant sunshine, but warm periods are moderated by the cooling fog, resulting in wines of refreshing intensity. This is what we aim to bottle.
