Stasis
Stasis produces wines from Santa Maria Valley, a cool-climate pocket of California's Central Coast known for its morning fog and diurnal temperature swings. The winery's portfolio centers on distinctive white and red varieties suited to the region's conditions. Its Gamay Noir from Murmur Vineyard—a Pinot-adjacent red with natural acidity and silky tannins—anchors the red program. On the white side, Stasis works with Grüner Veltliner, the Austrian varietal prized for its mineral spine and stone-fruit character, alongside Albariño from Murmur Vineyard, the Spanish Atlantic grape known for salinity and precision. Wine Enthusiast has rated these wines. The winery's focus on cool-climate whites and lighter reds reflects Santa Maria Valley's terroir: a region where moderate alcohol and vibrant acidity define the style.
