This blend of Riesling, Vigonier, and Malvasia comes from from a mix of Biodynamic and Organic vineyards including (in largest part) the Demeter certified DeLanda Estaate Vineyard.\nThis wine is rock solid stable even with a teeny tiny dusting of sulphur added. Like a walk through the spring flowers, it's simply hits the palate like a soft kiss from a Sunflower. The prettiest one in the whole field.\nWe're so proud of this wine. We're so excited to share it with you.\nGET INTO IT!\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eNotes on the Producer\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eRead up on our homies at Solminer! We've made more collaborations with David and Anna than any other winery and we're so in love with what they do - and how they do it. Pragmatic natural vignerons to the core. \nWhat is Solminer?\nSol-miner as in mining the “Sun” which in turn nourishes the soul. The name inspires us to discover and unearth the treasures in the soils of the California Central Coast. Our decisions have always been personal (not commercial) and involve what we call “conscious farming”. As we learn about our little piece of earth and our place in it, the picture begins to widen. We’ve incorporated chickens, grazing sheep, the lunar calendar, biodynamic compost, preparations and teas all to support the microorganisms in the dirt and health of the vineyard. We have a feeling of connectedness as each trip around the sun gives us the chance to experience the magical process of exchange from the dirt, plants, fruit, wine, humans, sky, moon, sun and stars.\nAnna \u0026amp; David deLaski\nFarming winemakers\nThe first seed was planted meeting in 2009 and falling in love with Santa Barbara wine country and each other. We married soon after and while visiting Anna’s family in Austria, a desire to settle down and create a life together in a more agricultural setting started to take root. A chance meeting with a winemaking mentor and a property for sale with vines in the front yard grew into something we could no longer ignore. We went “all in” and decided to buy a fixer farmhouse and vineyard in Los Olivos and call the fruits of our labor of love “Solminer”.\nEstate deLanda Farm and Vineyard\nCertified Regenerative Organic and Biodynamic\nWe named our home vineyard “deLanda” a combination of our first and last names. It reflects our personal desire to produce natural wines using varietals related to our Austrian heritage. First certified organic in 2014, Biodynamic in 2018 and ROC Regenerative Organic in 2021, deLanda is evolving as we evolve as farmers. Ultimately it shines with individuality and biodiversity as we incorporate chickens, donkeys, sheep, bees, fruit trees, native plants, biodynamic compost, preparations and herb teas all to support the microorganisms in the dirt and health of the vineyard.\nAustrian Inspired Natural wines\nWines reflect the place\nOur personal desire is to reflect the vineyard in the wine and experiment with Austrian varietals. Since the beginning, we thought Grüner Veltliner would do well here and soon after we discovered that the Austrian red grape, Blaufränkisch, is perfect for our climate as well. We’ve rounded things out with a bit of Muscat to create an Austrian inspired dry “Muskateller” and some Syrah for Rose, Sparkling Syrah, a blend and a single vineyard Syrah. We also have new plantings of Riesling to add to our sources from neighboring vineyards that we have selected for their climate, soils and sustainable growing practices. About 2000 cases are produced each year\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Satellite SB","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67612285305083,"sku":"00078211","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0403\/3655\/6193\/files\/359daae31a6a8443f853214d71722706_01d9967c-8d12-4e28-b12c-d42c6f04c7c9.jpg?v=1790897354","url":"https:\/\/satellitesb.com\/products\/solminer-x-satellite-floral-feelings-riesling-blend-santa-barbara-county-ca-2025","provider":"Satellite SB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
