2024 Scar of the Sea, Gamay Topotero Vineyard, San Luis Obispo, USA
$39.99
Certified Biodynamic. The 5 acre Topotero vineyard sits just west of the Bassi Vineyard in Avila Beach. Surrounded by gardens, palm trees, apples and a seasonal creek, this little vineyard is one of our favorites. The vines were grafted to Gamay from Pinot Noir in 2019 for this bottling. The vineyard is certified Biodynamic and farmed by Ben Taylor who lives on the property with his family. The wine was fermented mostly destemmed for 10 days, then pressed in our wooden basket press. The wine was bottled after 10 months in barrel, without fining or filtration and with minimal sulfur used. 214 cases were produced.
