Seawind Wines

Introduction

Seawind Wines is a journey of discovery.  To discover grapes that ripen with optimum flavor, balance and structure.  Where sea winds balance warm days with cool nights.  And to discover the essence of these grapes in memorable wines. 

The best California Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes come from coastal valleys.  Cool Pacific winds bring foggy mornings, bright afternoons and chilly nights.  Ideal conditions for long hang time.  Perfect for grapes to ripen with rich flavor and naturally balanced sugar and acidity. 
 
Traditional small-lot winemaking captures the essence of terroir.  Pinot Noir is hand sorted and de-stemmed.  Fermented in small bins, manually punched, and gently pressed.  Aged in premium French oak barrels and bottled unfined.  Chardonnay is gently whole-cluster pressed and fermented in French oak and stainless steel.  Aged sur lee with stirring and partial malolactic fermentation.  Each lot and barrel is given individual attention to capture the best of the grapes. 

Seawind Wines makes only single-vineyard Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from California’s premier coastal AVAs.  Join us on our journey to discover the best grapes and to capture their rich flavor, balance and structure in our memorable wines.
