Seaglass Wine Company's corner of the Central Coast starts in Santa Barbara County, fanning inland to Paso Robles and north to Monterey County. Santa Barbara County is home to wind-swept hillsides and exceptional, cool-climate fruit. Equally shaped by cooling breezes funneled in from the Pacific Ocean, Monterey County is renowned for grapes with an elegant balance of flavor and acidity.

The vast expanse of California's Central Coast is matched only by its diverse topography. Stretching 250 miles south from San Francisco Bay to Santa Barbara County, the region’s 90,000 acres of vineyards are woven together by a single thread: proximity to the Pacific Ocean. The undeniable influence of the sea shapes the terroir here, as it ushers wind and fog across the vines, creating California’s longest growing season. They don’t like to rush around here. Seaglass Wine Company gives their grapes plenty of time to develop their signature cool-climate flavor and bright acidity.
For any viticulturist, all roads lead to the vineyard. To the rows of vines that ebb and flow with each season. To the hills and the soil and the grapes. Viticulturist Matt Frank has found his calling on Seaglass' unique Central Coast vineyard, Los Alamos, where the vines are anchored almost entirely in coastal sand from the Pacific Ocean. Coursework in the world-renowned viticulture program at the University of California at Davis provided an impressive foundation for Matt’s expertise, but his passion for cultivating sea-swept grapes is what elevates the character and flavor of Seaglass' coastal wines.
