- Vineyard
- This wine now comes entirely from Martian Ranch Vineyard in Alisos Canyon AVA. Martian Ranch has been farmed biodynamically since its inception and has been Demeter certified since 2010. It is a pleasure to be able to source grapes from a vineyard that cares about their soil health as much as we do.
- Soil
- This vineyard lies on the hills of the San Antonio Creek Valley, it gets warm in the day, and cools off with coastal fog in the evening. The soils are rich in calcium from the Paso and Sisquoc formations and are composed of weathered sandstone, s
- Viticulture
- Demeter certified Biodynamic (Martian Ranch)
- Vinification
- This Gamay was harvested on September 4th around 22 Brix. True to our approach, everything was fermented 100% whole-cluster. Throughout primary fermentation, the grapes received a thoughtful balance of gentle foot treading, pour-overs, and what we like to call “love touches.” The fermentation was pressed after 17 days on skins. As always, fermentation began with a touch of carbonic maceration before transitioning to more extractive cap management methods.
- Aging
- Several rounds of foot treading and gentle handling ensured that almost no berry was left unsquished after primary fermentation. After a light pressing, the wine was aged in neutral French oak barrels before being bottled unfined and unfiltered on March 25, 2026
