About Sea Smoke's "Botella"
"Botella" is named after the mineral-rich soil type found at the Sea Smoke Estate Vineyard and other exceptional vineyards of the Sta. Rita Hills.
 
An exciting new bottling from the legendary team at Sea Smoke, "Botella" takes the same approach as Sea Smoke Estate wines, but uses fruit sourced from neighboring vineyards in the Sta. Rita Hills, most notably "Fiddlestix", "Sanford & Benedict", and "Our Lady of Guadalupe".
 
Winemaker Notes
"Botella" Pinot Noir is shaped with a gentle hand, echoing the estate’s signature elegance while offering its own bright immediacy. Similar to the approach taken with the estate wines, winemaking features separate fermentations by block with gentle cap management. "Botella" features less time on the skins, earlier picks for bright aromatics, shorter barrel aging, and lower new French oak impact.
