Latin for “Of The Sea,” Aequorea (pronounced ay-core-ee-yah) began as a desire to produce Pinot Noir and aromatic white wines from vineyards closer to the ocean than most anywhere else in California. From these foggy, windswept sites west of the Santa Lucia Mountains and no more than 6 miles from the Pacific Ocean, we work with dedicated growers to craft a portfolio of expressive wines that showcase truly coastal terroir. This study in extreme coastal winegrowing eventually led us to spearhead the creation of the new San Luis Obispo Coast (SLO Coast) AVA, the most coastal AVA in the US.
