WINERY NOTES:

ABOUT THE VINEYARD: “In July 2024. Mikey and Gina found their forever farm - the 20-acre Bassi Vineyard in Avila Beach. nestled in the heart of the SLO Coast AVA. one mile from the Pacific Ocean. This coastal site. farmed using regenerative and biodynamic principles. is now their home vineyard. With it. they now steward 42 acres in total with their small. dedicated team. All the wines are made naturally - with native yeast. no adjustments. and bottled unfiltered.”

OVERVIEW: “This is one of the most important wines we make under Scar of the Sea. This wine was made over 7 different vineyard picks. All the grapes for this blend were fermented in separate 1.3 ton bins with 25% whole cluster. The grapes fermented with native yeast and received 2 punch downs daily until dryness. The wine was then drained and then the grapes were pressed in our 2 ton wooden basket press. The wine was transferred to neutral French oak barrels for aging on fine lees for 8 months. The wine was racked for the first time to bottle. Our wines are never fined or filtered. Minimal sulfur was used at bottling to capture the energy of the wine. 82 barrels produced.”
