From the winemaker: 

This wine is from the organically farmed Topotero Vineyard, located in Avila Beach.  The vineyard is situated at the base of the Avila Valley, just 1.2 miles from the Pacific Ocean. The grapes are picked for natural acidity, at 19 Brix of sugar, and no additions or adjustments are made to the juice or fermentation.  The grapes are foot tread then pressed, and the juice ferments with native yeast in old french oak barrels. The wine is bottled at the end of the primary fermentation to capture the natural bubbles of fermentation in the bottle. The bottles are then riddled, disgorged to remove the settled yeast, and secured again with a cork and cage before it is ready to be labeled to drink!

Scar of the Sea was established in 2012 and is owned and operated by Mikey and Gina Giugni (her own label is Lady of the Sunshine). They focus on regenerative, organic, and biodynamic farming in pursuit of making natural wines that reflect the purity of the place they come from.
