It is not unusual to spot foxes, bobcats, wild pigs, coyotes, and even the elusive central coast bear roaming amongst the vines here. \nAlthough this site is more inland than other sites on the SLO Coast, ample marine fog and air flow through the Arroyo Grande Valley, resulting in wines with cool-climate character.\nAfter pressing the grapes, we fermented this wine in old neutral French oak barrels to provide a balance of generous aromatics while maintaining bright structure and acidity. \nTasting notes: zesty citrus, passionfruit, salinity, fresh white flowers\norganic \/ native yeast \/ unfined \/ unfiltered\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eNotes on the Producer\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOutward Wines is a partnership between Natalie Siddique and Ryan Pace.\nWe are focused on producing small-lot, site-specific wines from California’s Central Coast, primarily sourcing fruit from Santa Barbara County. All of the vineyards that we work with are farmed using sustainable, organic, or biodynamic practices and are located in close proximity to the cold Pacific Ocean.\n\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the cellar we strive to minimize inputs throughout the winemaking process in order to allow for a clear picture of what the site can provide naturally, and to give the wine a true sense of time and place. To that end, we utilize spontaneous yeast to carry out fermentations, and bottle without fining or filtration where possible. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile we do our best to allow the wines to speak for themselves, we also recognize the role and impact of the human element in terroir. Our hands and our decisions are reflected in the wines that we produce, so it is not only an expression of site, but it is our expression of site.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur winemaking approach is informed by the places we have travelled, the background and experience we have in the wine industry, the wines we have enjoyed and been inspired by, the food we prepare and consume, and the friends and mentors that we consult. All winemaking dogma aside, at the end of the day our goal for these wines is for them to be delicious and to provide pleasure to the end consumer.   \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOutward is about expression, exploration, adventure, and the unknown. We consistently seek to push ourselves out of our comfort zones whether through adventurous pursuits in the outdoors, working with new vineyards, or simply challenging our own philosophy and approach to winemaking. Outward is our ever-evolving winemaking adventure and we hope you will join us for the ride.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Satellite SB","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48828406006011,"sku":"00077365","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0403\/3655\/6193\/files\/49dbd3d058319e58d3f569921caef374.jpg?v=1777681419","url":"https:\/\/satellitesb.com\/products\/outward-coquina-vineyard-cabernet-sauvignon-san-luis-obispo-coast-slo-coast-ca-2025","provider":"Satellite SB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
