MARINE LAYER
Sonoma Coast, California
The story of Marine Layer begins with our intimate knowledge of the best vineyard sites for Chardonnay and Pinot Noir in California. We’ve been making wine in the Sonoma Coast for over a decade, first with Banshee Wines. Over these years, we have established and solidified partnerships and friendships with some of the region’s top farmers that are the inspiration for Marine Layer.
Organic farming, heritage clones, hand-harvesting, and an obsession for quality guide our path. Every bottling of Marine Layer is produced in tiny quantities, some as small as 4 barrels. We use native yeast in our winemaking, minimal intervention, barrel-fermentations for our whites, and extended barrel aging for our reds. We’ve spared no expense to make wines that will compete with the very best Chardonnays and Pinot Noirs in the world.
