Seaglass Pinot Noir | Central Coast, USA

“The ocean gives us so much of what you taste in the glass. My job is to translate that coastal character in each wine we make.” Seaglass viticulturist Matt Frank

Seaglass takes its name from the shards of glass that over decades are polished into beautiful gems by the natural ebb and flow of wind, sea and fog. It leads to searching for delightful discoveries of a shimmering, one-of-a-kind jewel – be it in the sand or from the winery.

Their wines encapsulate the ocean air, the sandy coastline and the fresh acidity of cool-climate fruit along the Central Coast. Crafted from wind-swept vines that give nuanced flavours in the cellar and complex notes in the glass, the wines are an unmistakable expression of California’s coastal vineyards.

A minimalist approach to winemaking preserves the fresh, bright character of this 100% Pinot Noir. Following harvest, the grapes were cold soaked for 24 hours, allowing for greater extraction of colour and flavour during fermentation. The wine was aged in small oak tanks, creating the perfect balance of delicate varietal flavour, crisp acidity, and nuanced oak notes – a quintessential expression of Central Coast cool-climate vines.
