Shipping calculated at checkout
Scar of the Sea was established in 2012 and is owned & operated by Mikey & Gina Giugni in San Luis Obispo, California. We were introduced to their wines by a dear friend at Parcel and its safe to say that Mikey is making some of the most distinctive wines in Santa Barbara. The focus is one finding meticulous growers working sustainably with amazing vineyard sites and then staying out of the way in the winery by making the wines in a minimal interventionist style. The wines are thirst-quenchingly fresh and bright.
This wine is a blend of two Santa Maria Vineyards. The younger plantings are from Rancho Ontiveros Vineyard and the old vine plantings are from Rancho Vinedo Vineyard, planted in 1973.
Both of these vineyards are farmed using organic farming practices.
Flat out delicious. Pretty and silky, freshly picked wild strawberries, juicy cranberry, earl grey tea leaves, turned earth, Goji berries, hints of cola and subtle sage spice, bright acidity, taut and alive. Did we mention its delicious? Enjoy just above cellar temp (55-60 degrees) next to a campfire.
