The cold 2024 growing season extended hang time, allowing the grapes to develop intense flavor maturity while preserving a remarkably low pH. Winemaker Mikey Giugni gently whole-cluster presses the fruit directly into old neutral French oak barrels, allowing a slow, wild fermentation to take place over several months. Left completely undisturbed on its fine lees without bâtonnage, it represents a pristine, unmanipulated translation of California’s most maritime frontier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the glass, it appears pale straw with brilliant greenish reflections. The nose is incredibly precise and energetic, flashing notes of Meyer lemon, green apple skin, white floral blossoms, and an unmistakable whiff of sea spray. The palate is defined by its striking \"vertical\" architecture, in which a searing line of oceanic acidity slices through the variety's natural oiliness. A subtle, chalky texture hugs the mid-palate, giving the wine exceptional grip without relying on heavy oak weight. The finish is remarkably long, clean, and bracingly dry, leaving a lingering, salty impression of crushed oyster shells.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Scar of the Sea","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49838515618032,"sku":"DESK","price":46.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0696\/3678\/4368\/files\/Comingsoon.png?v=1768455940","url":"https:\/\/www.lessismorewines.com\/products\/scar-of-the-sea-chardonnay-bassi-2024","provider":"LESS IS MORE WINES","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
