Scar of the Sea - Grenache Bassi Vineyard SLO Coast 2025

There are two Grenache plots at Bassi, planted in 2017 and 2021, and this is our first bottling of this wine.  Grown on south facing sandy soils with ocean peekaboo views.  The grapes were picked on October 3rd and fermented with native yeast and 60 % whole cluster for 3 weeks.  The wine was then pressed in our wooden basket press and aged in neutral French oak barrels for 10 months. 

Wild raspberry, fresh red cherry, crushed rose petals, and subtle white pepper, with hints of dried herbs and salty coastal air.

Bright, crunchy red fruit with lively acidity, a fine-grained tannic structure, and a savory, mineral edge.

Pair with duck
