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.
The Dunites Sans Soufre Syrah is 100% Syrah (50% whole cluster) made without the addition of any sulfur at all during the winemaking process. 60% of the grapes are from Islay Hill, 40% from Spanish Springs Vineyards. Aromas and flavors of blueberry, perfectly ripe plum, violet and sage permeate the wine, which is juicy and plush but finishes with a seam of acidity and tannin that begs for another sip. Decanting is recommended to see how the wine opens over an evening. Enjoy with dry-rub, grilled tri-tip beef.
