Did you know that only 15% of winemakers are women? The traditional wine industry is still in its infancy when it comes to inclusivity. Made with Maude aims to change that. This Dutch start-up unites the very best female winemakers and offers them a platform. Why wait with good intentions until January when you can already make a difference in December? The holidays are the time to toast with honest wine.

Great idea for female-led restaurants to put these wines on their menu and in the spotlight!

Patricia Santos: A passionate winemaker with a fascination for nature. When making wine, respect for the grape is paramount for her. Patricia makes wine with her heart, ensuring that the special aspects of the region are preserved in the wine. She is making wine in one of the northern regions of  Portugal.

Claudia Gomes: Claudia is determined to have everyone enjoy her wine, including people who do not drink alcohol. She took up the challenge to create the same taste sensation with 12% less (average amount of alcohol in wine). And with success!
