2022 Scar of the Sea, Gamay Topotero Vineyard, San Luis Obispo, USA
$39.99
From Mikey:
The 5-acre Topotero vineyard sits next door to the Bassi Vineyard in Avila Beach. Surrounded by gardens, palm trees, apples and a creek bed, this little vineyard is one of my favorites. These vines were grafted to Gamay from Pinot Noir in 2019. Farmed practicing organic by Ben Taylor, this is his home vineyard. The wine is fermented with 60% whole-cluster for 10 days, then pressed with the wooden basket press. The wine is bottled after 10 month of aging in barrel and without filtration.
