Light-bodied, and perfumed with notes of candied red fruit, crushed pomegranate, dried flowers and blood orange.

MAKING OF: In this coferment, the Pinot Gris was all whole-cluster and the Pinot Noir was de-stemmed. The wine was fermented for 11 days, then gently pressed in the wooden basket press. Bottled after 8 months, unfined and unfiltered, with minimal sulfur added.

What is coferment? Co-fermenting involves two or more grapes being fermented together at the same time. Usually wines made with two or more grapes are created by blending the grapes together AFTER they have fermented separately.

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.
