Ser is an artisanal winery based out of Santa Cruz, CA, committed to preserving the “Being” of wine, producing wines that allow the wine to truly express the varieties and vineyards they are sourced from. Ser Winery is committed to producing varietal, vineyard-designate, old-world style wines.
Bright citrus (lime, lemon blossom), orchard fruits (pear, nectarine, green melon), and a hint of tropical pineapple, balanced by surprising richness and minerality from the Wirz Vineyard’s old vines, all presented in a completely dry, crisp, and refreshing sparkling style with persistent bubbles and a long, clean finish.
Riesling
Ser Sparkling Riesling (100% Riesling) sourced from the historic Wirz Vineyard located in Cienega Valley on the Eastern side of the Gabilan Mountain Range. The vineyard sits at approximately 1000 ft elevation, providing a cool climate with delayed bud break and late harvests. Decomposed granite and limestone soils. 60-year-old, head-trained vines, dry-farmed, organically farmed.
Winemaking: Destemmed and pressed to stainless steel tank. Cool fermentation and no malolactic fermentation. The Sparkling is made in the traditional Champagne method and spent ~18 months en tirage. Very small dosage ~ 0.3 g/L.

“My winemaking philosophy involves minimal intervention, allowing the wine to express itself and where it comes from.” Owner, winemaker, Nicole Walsh
Ser is an artisanal winery based out of Santa Cruz, CA, specializing in varietal, vineyard-designate, old-world style wines, produced in a natural way to allow the expression of their varietal character and the vineyards from which they are sourced.
Ser began its first vintage in 2012 with wines sourced from vineyards influenced by the Pacific Ocean. Cool climate, central coast vineyards, including the appellations of the Santa Cruz Mountains, Cienega Valley, Santa Lucia Highlands, and, more recently, Edna Valley, are the primary sources of fruit.
