MarBeso Santa Barbara Skin Contact Gruner/Vermentino Magic Hour 2025

$2899

Half Grüner Veltliner, half Vermentino, fermented on the skins: an odd pairing on paper that works because both varieties hold onto acid in the cool corners of Santa Barbara County. Magic Hour is MarBeso's experimental bottling and it shifts shape from year to year; the 2025 is a properly extracted skin-contact wine, not a faintly tinted one. Colin and Hannah McNany run the label out of Buellton, buying only organically or sustainably farmed fruit and printing each wine's distance to the Pacific on the label. Native-yeast fermentation, no new oak, released young. Serve it well chilled and give it a little air.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Moroccan tagine with preserved lemon, grilled octopus, sesame noodles, larb, aged gouda, or a spread of mezze.

Tasting Profile

Cantaloupe and orange zest over lemony citrus, with tea leaf, wildflowers and dried herbs. Medium-bodied with a light tannic grip from the skins, firm acidity, and a dry, faintly bitter, refreshing finish.
