Grapes: 100% Pinot Noir

Gina Giugni, a second-generation biodynamic farmer, began Lady of the Sunshine in 2017 as a personal project and an invitation to care more deeply, farm more gently, and drink with intention - a commitment to thoughtful farming, natural winemaking, and cultivating a lasting relationship with the land as an act of preservation. 

This bottling comes from the hillside blocks, planted in 2001, 1.2 miles from the ocean and south facing exposure. The grapes were fermented with native yeast and aged for 10 months in neutral French oak barrels before being racked for the first time to bottle, unfined and unfiltered, with minimal sulfur used to capture the energy of the wine.

Wine Enthusiast - 98 points

"From the first vintage since vintners Gina and Mikey Giugni purchased this iconic oceanview vineyard, this bottling is a masterclass in fresh-style wine. Inviting aromas of raspberry coulis, just-plucked rose petals and a pinch of dewy thyme are elegant and addictive on the nose. The palate pairs potpourri and herb sachet flavors with a vibrant raspberry and pomegranate core. It's hard to spit out, even for critics."
