2021 Scar of the Sea Coferment Cider Newtown Pippin, Sauvignon Blanc & Lime Leaves, California - 375mL

ABOUT THIS WINE 

This vintage of cider comes from Newtown Pippin apples grown at Bear Valley Ranch. The apple juice is barrel fermented with native yeast and no additions. It is aged for 12 months and then refermented with 2022 Sauvignon Blanc grapes from the Presqui'le Vineyard in the Santa Maria Valley. Right before bottling, we steep fresh lime leaves from Stepladder Ranch in Cambria for some extra aromatics.

ABOUT THIS PRODUCER

"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."

Scar of the Sea wines are made prioritizing organic vineyard sources, fermenting with native yeast, no fermentation additions, and bottling in the absence of fining/filtration. All the wines produced see a minimal amount of sulfur before bottling that is based on the wines natural pH to retain freshness and longevity.
