From the rolling hills of Santa Barbara County comes the inaugural release of Blanc de Mer — a fresh expression born from some of the region’s most storied vineyards: McGinley, China Blue, Happy Canyon, and Jurassic Park. Each lot was vinified separately using native yeast, then aged thoughtfully in a mix of neutral oak and stainless steel.
The final blend is layered, textural, and bright. On the nose, you’ll find citrus blossom, yellow apple, and ripe pear. The palate is vibrant and mineral-driven, offering a clean, saline finish that invites another sip. Blanc de Mer was crafted with versatility in mind — equally at home with oysters and grilled shrimp as it is with roast chicken or a sunny afternoon.
ANTONIO GALLONI'S VINOUS MEDIA 90 POINTS - "The 2024 Blanc de Mer is a blend of Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Chenin Blanc. Energetic and vibrant, there's great texture and salinity to lift the bright florals. Lemon, white flowers and orange peel build with air. A clean, crisp finish begs for a plate of oysters."
