Their Sea Urchin is a young fresh expression of Pinot noir. Peachy pink in color, this rosé is like a cool spring morning under a cherry tree. Enjoy a clean acidity with a bit more structure than your typical sparkling wine. Pair with delicate seafood such as uni or scallop dishes.

This wine is sourced from the cool-climate vineyards of Viste Verde Vineyards in San Benito, directly inland form Monterey and influenced by the coastal climate of the Pacific.

They are dedicated to making sparkling wines that are modern and reflective of grape and place. After meeting at UC Davis, Dan and Jacqueline Person worked around the world, then around California. These experiences informed their perspectives on winemaking. Dan worked for Schramsberg Vineyards for 3 years, making traditional sparkling wines from California grapes. Based on that experience, Dan decided there was a need for a new interpretation of California sparkling wine. Jacqueline was concurrently making still wines from a variety of terroirs across the Golden State, terroirs that have inspired the vineyard selections for CARBONISTE.
