Edna Valley is nestled amongst the northwest-southeast running volcanic hills of the San Luis Obispo Coast and is the frontier for the most complex cool-climate varietals in California, especially Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The transverse valley is an extension of the sea, with a funnel leading past Morro Bay, 3,600 feet below the Pacific. The cold Pacific wind sweeps down the coast and into the valley and vineyards, creating a microclimate ideal for ripening delicate Pinot Noir grapes. Oscillations in warm and cold are further improved by the Pismo Venturi effect that clears the evening fog. Edna Valley, the coolest appellation in California, has all the elements for crafting Pinot Noir and Chardonnay wines to rival any in the world. Coastal influences are key to stellar California Pinot Noir.  Tolosa continues to seek out cool-climate vineyards with maritime breezes to craft nuanced and balanced wines.  Our Single Vineyard series pinpoints special microclimates and meticulous growers that unite for exceptional fruit.
