These vines are planted at high density, on their own roots in limestone soils at the Stolpman Vineyard that was recently certified Demeter biodynamic. The grapes were picked for natural acidity and foot tread to soak on the skins overnight before being whole bunch pressed the next morning. The juice was collected into old french oak barrels and fermented with native yeast and bacteria. The wine aged on lees for 8 months, then was racked for the first time to bottle, without fining or filtration, with minimal sulfur used. 336 cases produced./p>

Lady of the Sunshine is the California project of Gina Giugni, a second-generation biodynamic farmer and winemaker based on the Central Coast. Raised at her family's Scar of the Sea and Chene vineyards orbit, she created Lady of the Sunshine to focus on regenerative farming and wines that feel transparent, coastal and alive. Her own Chene Vineyard in Edna Valley is farmed organically and biodynamically, while purchased fruit comes from growers with similar values. The wines, often Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Gamay and playful blends, are made with native yeasts and minimal additions, favoring brightness, texture and a clean imprint of cool Pacific air.
