South Coast sparkling and still wines with precision and regional character.

Thornton produces sparkling and still wines from California's South Coast region. The winery's Natural Brut Reserve—a blend of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Pinot Blanc—demonstrates the region's capacity for elegant, structured bubbles. The Cuvée Rouge Sparkling, built from Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, offers a darker, richer expression of the sparkling form. A Reserve Chardonnay rounds out the core portfolio, showcasing the varietal's mineral and textural range in the South Coast's maritime climate. Both Wine Enthusiast and Wine Advocate have rated these releases, reflecting their technical precision and balance.
