Seaglass wine is made in California, specifically in two prime vineyard regions: Santa Barbara and Monterey. These regions are renowned for their ideal climate and soil conditions, which create the perfect environment for growing high-quality grapes. As an expert sommelier and brewer, I have had the privilege of visiting these regions and witnessing firsthand the magic that happens in the vineyards.
Santa Barbara, located along the central coast of California, is known for its unique east-west mountain range that allows cool ocean breezes to sweep through the vineyards. This cooling effect, along with the region's diverse microclimates, contributes to the development of grapes with vibrant flavors and balanced acidity. The vineyards in Santa Barbara are often located near the coast, benefiting from the coastal fog that blankets the region in the mornings and evenings, further enhancing the grape-growing conditions.
Monterey, on the other hand, is located further north along the coast and is influenced by the chilly waters of the Monterey Bay. This maritime influence creates a cool and foggy climate, which is particularly favorable for growing grapes with crisp acidity and intense fruit character. The vineyards in Monterey are often situated on slopes and hillsides, allowing for excellent drainage and sun exposure.
When it comes to sourcing the grapes for Seaglass wines, only the finest vineyards in Santa Barbara and Monterey are selected. These vineyards are carefully tended by skilled farmers who understand the intricacies of the land and work tirelessly to produce grapes of exceptional quality. The grapes are handpicked at the peak of ripeness, ensuring that only the best fruit makes its way into the winemaking process.
As a sommelier, I have had the pleasure of tasting Seaglass wines made from grapes sourced from these regions. The wines truly embody the essence of their respective terroirs, showcasing the bright flavors and alluring aromas that are characteristic of Santa Barbara and Monterey. Each sip is a revelation, transporting you to the sunny vineyards and rugged coastal landscapes where these grapes are grown.
