Pinot Noir
Perhaps brought to the public attention with the 2004 Movie Sideways that was filmed in Santa Barbara, this is the king of central coast wines in Goleta, CA and nearby towns. The cool weather grapes grow well in the West to East orientation of the valley. The Pinot Noir wines produced in the region are fruity and dark thanks to the region’s abundant sunshine.
Chardonnay
Another cool-weather grape,
the Chardonnay is the basis of perhaps the most popular white wine
made. It is dry and crisp and often carries fruity notes such as
apple, peach, or citrus. Aging in oak can add a vanilla sweetness to
it. The grapes are a consistent producer in the central coast AVA.
