Scar of The Sea Topotero Vineyard Rose of Pinot Noir Methode Ancestrale, San Luis Obispo County, USA
The 2024 Topotero Vineyard Rosé of Pinot Noir by Scar of the Sea in San Luis Obispo, California, is a prime example of Méthode Ancestrale winemaking. This technique, rarely used for rosé, involves bottling the wine before primary fermentation is complete, allowing it to finish in the bottle, creating natural effervescence. The wine embodies the delicate Pinot Noir grape, accentuated by the natural carbonation, and highlights the meticulous, organic, and biodynamic farming practices of the Topotero Vineyard, located just over a mile from the Pacific Ocean.
