Santa Lucia Highlands

WINDY, SANDY, AND ROCKY FOOTHILLS

Winemaker’s Favorite Aspect:

The wind shortens the daytime high temps and holds the acid in the fruit amazingly well.

Climate:

Windy – brief daytime highs shrouded in fog in the mornings and evenings from the Monterey Bay

Regional Overview:

Santa Lucia Highlands sits at the nexus of ripe flavors with weight and soft tannins but still has an electric undercurrent of acidity due to the long hang time. It’s an awesome new-world flavor profile that doesn’t sacrifice acid and freshness at all.

FOOD PAIRINGS:

I really love pulled pork sliders and SLH Pinot Noirs, it’s a relatively simple dish but the acid and weight that SLH Pinot Noirs possess really compliment the richness of the pulled pork. It’s a great dish in the smoker during the summer or with a slow cooker in the winter.

The Pinot (and Chardonnay) Playbook, Unfiltered

Our winemaking is our love letter to Oregon and California Pinot Noir, a celebration of this varietal’s bold honesty and irresistible charm. This grape doesn’t pull punches or play dress-up in the cellar. That’s why we focus on showcasing the pure essence of every vineyard we work with, keeping interventions minimal and letting Pinot do what Pinot does best: tell its origin story. And because Pinot needs a dance partner, we’ve ventured into Oregon and California Chardonnay.
