This chardonnay is like new world 1er Cru Chablis with its salty minerality and piquant fruit character. Smooth and round with clean, well-integrated acid and notes of lemon, granny smith apples, pineapples, toasted almond, light butterscotch, a kiss of oak and lemon zest./p>

Scar of the Sea is the coastal California project of Mikey and Gina Giugni, focused on vineyards shaped by ocean influence, old vines and patient farming. Based on the Central Coast, the winery works with Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Syrah, Gamay and cider apples from sites in San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara and beyond. The name points to the Pacific's constant mark on the landscape: fog, wind, salt and cool light. Fermentations are native, extraction is gentle and the wines favor energy over weight. Scar of the Sea helped define a more transparent, maritime style for modern California wine.
