NV Lady of the Sunshine Solera Rosé of Pinot Noir No. 2 "Mountain Meadow Vineyard", SLO Coast, California, USA
There are 6 units left in stock.
ABOUT THE WINE
This non-vintage sparkling rosé is made from Pinot Noir grown at Mountain Meadow Vineyard in the northwest mountains of the SLO Coast. The dry-farmed, head-trained site lies above Cayucos, combining elevation with proximity to the Pacific.
The solera-style method brings older base wine together with fresh fermenting wine, whose native yeast and natural sugar create bubbles in the bottle. Old French oak and minimal cellar intervention are part of the approach. Offered here as Solera No. 2, it is a distinctive expression of both the vineyard and Gina Giugni’s work with naturally fermented sparkling wine.
ABOUT THE PRODUCER

She and her husband Mikey Giugni, of Scar of the Sea, work on California’s Central Coast. Personally farmed sites, native fermentation and restrained handling connect their wines to the coastal landscape.
