Lopez Vineyard Palomino Scar of the Sea 2022 Wine

Discover the Rich Heritage of Scar of the Sea’s Organic Palomino Wine
Nestled in California’s storied Cucamonga Valley, this rare gem traces its roots to a vineyard planted in 1918—now a living testament to old-world California craftsmanship. Crafted by Scar of the Sea from sustainably farmed Palomino grapes grown without irrigation in nutrient-rich granite soils, this wine embodies tradition meets innovation.

A Commitment to Nature & Flavor
Certified organic and dry-farmed since its inception, these grapes thrive under irrigation-free cultivation surrounded by freeway-savvy terroir—a unique blend of urban edge and natural ruggedness. Harvested in mid-July for optimal ripeness, the grapes undergo gentle foot-treading before soaking on skins for six days—a method that unlocks deep complexity while preserving delicate aromas. Fermented with native yeasts in French oak barrels and aged on lees for eight months, this wine captures timeless elegance with minimal intervention—no fining or filtration ensures pure expression of terroir.

Taste the Story
Expect a vibrant dance of lychee sweetness balanced by salted almond nuttiness and candied ginger warmth—a harmonious blend that pairs effortlessly with seafood or charcuterie boards. At 11% alcohol by volume and crafted with minimal sulfur additions, it’s an ideal choice for those seeking bold flavor without overpowering intensity.
