Dunites is a small wine company named after a group of metropolitan refugees (a collection of free thinkers, artists, nudists, and poets known as Dunites) from the 1930's who settled on the beach dunes of San Luis Obispo County. The husband-and-wife team of Tyler and Rachel Eck aim to produce pure and elegant wines that respect the coastal influence of vineyard sites on the SLO coast. By using whole cluster vinification, minimal amounts of sulfur, native yeast fermentation, gentle extraction methods, lees aging, neutral oak maturation and bottling without fining or filtration, Dunites achieve that goal.

Dunites' Albariño is made from 100% Albariño, some of which is fermented whole-cluster, while the rest is crushed by foot. No SO2 is added, and the wine is fermented in neutral French oak barrels and puncheon with native yeasts and native malolactic conversion. The wine is aged for 8 months on the lees and bottled without fining or filtration and minimal SO2 added prior to bottling. Lively with fresh acidity and a core of honeyed melon and stone fruit. Enjoy with grilled fish.
