Our Winemaking Process

We set out to create the perfect wine. One with FULL flavor, a good balance of alcohol AND lower calories, sugar and carbs. So...how did we do it?

  Brix

It’s all about the BRIX

Brix is a measure of the amount of sugar that is naturally found in grapes. The longer the grapes ripen on the vine during the growing season, the higher their BRIX levels become.

  Wine Glass

A delicate balancing act

Fermentation is a natural process where the natural sugars found in grapes are converted into alcohol. If this process is suspended, it achieves a lower alcohol, but does not achieve lower sugar. So how did we at Cupcake LightHearted get to both lower alcohol and lower sugar?

  Secret

The Cupcake LightHearted Secret

Jessica and her winemaking team harvest the grapes early in the growing season to minimize BRIX levels (remember, it’s all about the BRIX!) which allow for a lower sugar, lower alcohol product after blending.

  Wonder

A wonder in winemaking

Jessica selects perfectly-balanced grapes throughout California and crafts the perfect blend in the cellar to achieve rich, delicious wines, with lower alcohol and calories. Jessica brings out the truest grape expression for each Cupcake LightHearted varietal.
