This is a red wine with the soul of the coast, shaped by the cool, salty air of Avila Beach.
Gamay with Sea Legs
A world away from the bold reds of inland California, this Gamay is bright, vibrant, and thrillingly alive. Pour a glass and you will find a rush of tart cherry and fresh cranberry, followed by intriguing notes of peppery spice and damp earth. The real story, however, is the wine's incredible mineral streak and crisp, saline finish—as refreshing as a gust of sea spray.
This unique character comes from thoughtful winemaking by Mikey and Gina Giugni. Whole-cluster fermentation adds savory complexity, while aging in old barrels lets the pure coastal fruit shine through.
How to Enjoy
Serve this wine with a chill. Its light body and zesty acidity make it incredibly food-friendly, perfect for everything from roast chicken to grilled salmon or a simple charcuterie board.
