The Scar of the Sea Bassi Vineyard Coferment is an unconventional and enthralling blend, bringing together 65% Pinot Gris and 35% Pinot Noir from the rugged coastal terroir of San Luis Obispo’s Bassi Vineyard. Fermented together, this wine showcases a unique, luminous hue somewhere between a deep rose and a light red. The nose bursts with wild strawberries, blood orange, and white tea, intertwined with subtle saline and herbal notes that reflect its proximity to the Pacific. On the palate, a striking acid profile and refined texture give way to flavors of crushed pomegranate, candied citrus, and a touch of earthiness, leading to a crisp, mineral-laced finish that delivers a layered, energetic drinking experience. Both refreshing and complex, this coferment is a testament to Scar of the Sea’s innovative winemaking approach and the unique expression of the Bassi Vineyard. Served with a chill to amplify its refreshment, this wine excels when served alongside classic southern barbecue.
