Scar of the Sea - 'Bassi Vineyard Coferment' - Rosé of Pinot Gris, Chardonnay - Avila Beach, SLO County, CA - 2024

Notes from the Winery/Importer

Grown above the sandstone quarry at the Bassi Vineyard, this block has an ocean view. This wine is 65% Pinot Gris and 35% Chardonnay. The Pinot Gris was destemmed and then blended with Bassi Chardonnay juice from the press to ferment together. The wine fermented with native yeast in standing 228L old oak barrels for 3 weeks, then was gently pressed in our wooden basket press. The wine aged for 8 months in old French oak barrels and was bottled with minimal sulfur, and without fining or filtration. 120 cases produced.

Notes on the 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.
