Old Vine Chenin Blanc

TASTING NOTES: Salty and electric on the palate, notes of roasted apples and dried flowers. Pairs well with backyard bird songs and salty chips.
VINEYARD: This Chenin Blanc is sourced from a small block near Los Alamos in Santa Barbara County planted in the late 1960’s. Silica, calcare, and chalk make up the soils beneath these old vines. Ocean breezes whip through the wind gap over the vineyard and through the dense vine canopy. Farmed organically by Michael Brughelli.

WINEMAKING: We macerate this wine on the grape skins for one day before pressing and moving it into neutral French oak barrels, where the native fermentation occurs. During vinification, we do not add or remove anything from the wine. Prior to bottling, we rack the wine into a stainless steel tank. Please expect some solids and tartrates in the bottle.

Low-Calorie Unoaked Chardonnay

Our low-calorie unoaked Chardonnay is crafted to have all the bright fruit flavors of our flagship unoaked Chardonnay but with less calories and alcohol. We achieved this by harvesting the grapes at lower brix yet still allowing the wine to go through a full fermentation.

This fruit forward wine leads off with fresh flavors of peach, nectarine and lime with a backbone of acidity that gently leads to the grapefruit and candied orange finish.

Lumen Escence

Lumen Escence is an orange wine, meaning that it is a white grape that is treated in the winery like a red grape. We picked our favorite Pinot Gris at Sierra Madre Vineyard a few weeks early, then fermented on the skins for a full 10 days. The resulting wine is full of character: strawberry and peach, piercing & puckering attack, kombucha and kimchi, lime.

Lumen Pino Gris

Sourced from one of our favorite Pinot Noir vineyards, this Pinot Gris offers aromas of canteloupe, white peach and honeysuckle. On the palate it offers fresh melon, butterscotch and peach flavors focused around a striking acidity and minerality. The finish is long and lingering.
