The  Story | luliwines.com:

THE VINEYARD

The 2014 Luli was sourced entirely from the Santa Lucia Highlands. It is a blend from two sustainably-farmed vineyards. The well-trained vineyards carry low yields and are planted to a variety of different clones, which, combined with the fog and cool winds of the Santa Lucia Highlands provide ideal growing conditions.

We live wine. We are a master sommelier, grapegrowers and winemakers.  Our goal is to showcase the beauty of our region with wines of consistent quality.  We source and purchase grapes from lifelong friends in the area, and are therefore able to maintain a close eye on the farming. The wine production, aging and bottling are done entirely at our own winery.

 

Luli | Pinot Noir | Santa Lucia Highlands | 2014

The Luli Pinot Noir was made with classic winemaking techniques: Hand-sorting of the fruit, native yeasts for fermentation and production in small lots. The wine was aged in ‘neutral’ French oak barrels and was not fined or filtered. The resulting balanced wine is a tribute to the region’s success with Pinot Noir.

 

Luli | Chardonnay | Santa Lucia Highlands | 2014

The Luli Chardonnay was fermented in 50% stainless steel, and 50% neutral oak barrels with native yeast. The stainless steel keeps the aromatics pure and the acid crisp, while the neutral barrels give the mineral notes and a greater texture component. Malo-lactic fermentation was prevented to preserve the bright aromatics.
