If the Pacific Ocean could ferment, it might taste like this. This is pure coastline in a bottle.
A Coastal Wild Child
Scar of the Sea’s Bassi Vineyard Chardonnay is a true coastal wild child. Grown just steps from the ocean near Avila Beach, where fog and salt shape every grape, this wine is electric, windswept, and bracingly alive. It opens with a splash of lemon pith and crushed oyster shells, like a sea breeze in a glass.
Winemakers Mikey and Gina Giugni don't try to tame this vineyard; they let it speak. With no flashy oak or winemaking tricks, this wine is a direct transmission from the edge of the continent. The texture is lean and chiseled, finishing with a mouthwatering mineral snap.
How to Enjoy
This is an adventurous wine that practically begs for seafood. Pair it with raw oysters, ceviche, or even just a bag of salt and vinegar chips.
