Notes on the Producer
South Bay Natives, Colin and Hannah are a small production in the Sta Rita Hills producing vineyard designates from Santa Barbara County and the Santa Cruz Mountains. Combining our passion of wine together my wife and I decided to launch our own label Marbeso (kiss of the sea) in 2019 after years of making wine for other people. This year will mark Colin’s 20th vintage as a whole, ranging from Leeuwin Estate in Margaret River to Martinborough Vineyards in the North Island of NZ.
We source wines in close proximity to the sea and strive to produce clean, acid driven wines of minimal intervention using natural yeasts and bacteria; neutral french oak, bottle unfined and unfiltered to promote transparency between glass and vineyard. With vineyard sourcing and farming at the forefront, we have a strong connection to finding fruit that has been organically grown.
Grapes & Style
Grenache Noir
Grenache Noir is the dark-skinned form of Grenache, one of the great Mediterranean red grapes. It’s central to southern Rhône blends, Spanish Garnacha, and old-vine wines across warm, dry regions where it can translate sun and wind without losing charm.
In the vineyard, Grenache Noir handles heat, drought, and poor soils well, and old bush vines can produce wines with real depth. It tends toward high sugar and moderate acidity, so the best examples depend on balance, site, and careful picking.
In the glass, Grenache Noir often shows strawberry, raspberry, cherry, orange peel, herbs, white pepper, and warm spice. It can be pale and juicy or powerful and concentrated, but the best versions keep a sense of lift and transparency.
