We source the grapes for Sea Sun from diverse coastal regions in California, where bright sun and cooling ocean breezes lead to an extended growing season. Grapes stay on the vine longer, enabling us to create Chardonnay and Pinot Noir with heightened complexity. The name “Sea Sun” is inspired by this unique combination of natural forces.
Our quest:
to showcase the best California has to offer
Our Chardonnay and Pinot Noir are created from the singular beauty and character of the California coast—a place where wines are shaped by the strength of the wind and the intensity of the sun.
