Mouthfeel
Approachable and lively, showing balanced acidity and brightness without excessive creaminess or oak influence. Crisp yet rounded enough for casual sipping.
Winemaking Notes
Made with a sustainability-first philosophy, this wine emphasizes purity of fruit and minimal intervention. The absence of heavy oak highlights Monterey’s coastal freshness.
Food Pairing
Pairs beautifully with grilled shrimp, roasted chicken, light pasta primavera, or even a simple green salad with citrus vinaigrette.

💲 Price Point: Around $15–18, making it a smart, affordable daily sipper with real value.
