From the winemaker: 

This vintage of Rose comes from a newly planted and producing vineyard, Casa Contenta, located just west of the Topotero & Bassi Vineyard, in Avila Beach, within the SLO Coast AVA. 

The Pinot Noir was picked for natural acidity and foot tread to soak on the skins for 4 hours before being whole bunch pressed.  The juice was settled overnight then barrel down to old french oak to ferment with native yeast & bacteria.  The wine aged on lees for 7 months, bottled unfined and unfiltered, with minimal sulfur used.

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.
