A Surfing Legend, Sunny Garcia

by Dria Butler / Tuesday, 14 May 2019 / Published in Blog

The beach communities around the world honor and pray for Sunny Garcia. The Hawaiian native and Men’s World Champion took the surfing world by storm with an outstanding career of over 20 years competing full time. In 2010, he was inducted into the Surfing Walk of Fame located in Huntington Beach, California. In 2015, Sunny was elected into the Hawaii Sports Hall of Fame.

The surfing legend who can be found on the 2008 vintage of our Surfrider Chardonnay has ignited a love for the ocean and an awareness of mental health throughout his career. The Surfrider label at Rosenthal Wine Estate was developed to outsource grapes from throughout California while donating proceeds to ocean organizations to help preserve the beauty and wildlife of the oceans around the world. It was with absolute pleasure to feature Sunny Garcia on the 2008 label. He is a force of nature in the surfing community.

The video montage created by Taylor Steele honors the surfing veteran and ignites an outpour of love for Sunny Garcia.

Subtle oak. Barrel fermented. 9 months in 30% new French oak and 70% neutral oak. A dry Chardonnay with no malolactic fermentation – a French style Chardonnay, not the typical California “buttery” style Chardonnay. Crisp acidity with warm oak characteristics. Our barrel fermented Chardonnay instead goes through oxidative aging.

2019 Reserve Pinot Noir

Medium bodied Pinot. More rich and fuller bodied than what is typical in a traditional Pinot Noir. Low tannin. We get a bolder, more concentrated wine by using the “saignee” method, which encompasses ‘bleeding’ off liquid from a tank of juice for red wine in the early stages of the winemaking process. This can help to produce more concentrated flavor and color in red wine. This is from the Sta. Rita Hills region of Santa Barbara County – a very exclusive region producing some of the best Pinot Noir grapes.

Notes: Velvety smooth on the pallet. Rich dark cherry, and smooth leather on the palette. Juicy and vibrant.
