Notes on the Wine
This wine is our most important wine among restaurants. This wine is a blend of Rancho Sisquoc, Bien Nacido and Rancho Ontiveros Vineyard, all located in Santa Maria Valley. Each block is vinified separately with partial whole cluster, native yeast and is pressed based on taste. Picking decisions are based on acidity and flavor, with no additions other than minimal sulfur during elevage. The cuvee is aged in all neutral oak barrels for 10 months. This wine is bottled unfined and unfiltered.
Notes on the Producer
Scar of the Sea was established in 2012 and is owned & operated by Mikey & Gina Giugni in San Luis Obispo, California.
The Central Coast offers us the opportunity to live, work, and play by the sea, who is influential to the vineyards we work with and how we spend our time. The ocean’s presence has shaped our way of life along with the climate, soils, and geology of the coastal vineyards we work with that fall under the spell of her fog each day.
Scar of the Sea focuses on working with farmers who are instrumental in farming for the future and making wines with as little intervention as possible. Our wines are made with the intention to tell a story of where they come from, the people who farm them, and reflect each vintage under the California sun.
