WINE DESCRIPTION

Sea Smoke Sea Spray Blanc de Noirs is a premium sparkling wine produced by Sea Smoke, a renowned winery located in the Sta. Rita Hills appellation of California. This wine is made from 100% Pinot Noir grapes grown in the estate vineyards, which are characterized by their cool climate, maritime influence, and well-draining soils. The winemaking process involves gentle pressing of the grapes, followed by fermentation in stainless steel tanks and aging on the lees for several years. The resulting wine is a beautiful pale gold color with delicate aromas of citrus, white flowers, and brioche. On the palate, it is crisp, refreshing, and elegant, with flavors of green apple, pear, and a hint of minerality. This wine is perfect for any special occasion or celebration.

ORIGINS

Winery: Sea Smoke

Region: Central Coast California

The Central Coast of California is a wine lover's paradise, boasting a wide variety of climates, soils, and grape varieties. Located between San Francisco and Los Angeles, the Central Coast spans from Monterey County in the north to Santa Barbara County in the south. With its diverse topography and Mediterranean climate, the Central Coast is home to some of the most renowned wineries in the United States. The Central Coast has a long and storied history of winemaking, dating back to the mid-1800s. The first vineyards were planted in the Santa Clara Valley, and by the late 1800s, the region was producing some of the finest wines in the country. The region's reputation for quality wines was further solidified in the early 1989, when the Santa Clara Valley was declared among the first American Viticultural Area (AVA) in the United States.
