ABOUT THIS WINE

The Topotero Vineyard is located one mile from the Pacific Ocean, just west of Bassi, in Avila Beach. The Topotero Vineyard received its Demeter biodynamic certification for farming in 2024. The Pinot Noir was picked for natural acidity and foot tread before being whole cluster pressed. The juice was fermented with native yeast in neutral french oak barrels. The wine was bottled at the very end of fermentation to capture the natural bubbles of fermentation in the bottle. The wine aged in bottle on lees for 3 months before being riddled, disgorged, corked and caged, all by hand. 221 cases produced.

ABOUT THIS PRODUCER

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."

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.
