This 2020 vintage showcases a vibrant and refreshing character, making it a delightful choice for any occasion. With a graceful balance of acidity, the wine presents a lively and mouthwatering profile that invigorates the palate.

The dryness enhances its versatility and food-friendliness, allowing it to pair beautifully with seafood dishes, light salads, or even enjoyed on its own as a refreshing sip. The Castoro Cellars Balena is truly a testament to the potential of white wines in the Paso Robles region.

California's Central Coast might be a bit quieter than Napa or Sonoma to the north, but this lesser-known region produces many world-class wines. Enjoying incredible terroir along its vast 280-mile stretch—from San Francisco Bay to Santa Barbara—Central Coast wines are increasingly in demand. Its position between the Pacific Coast Ranges and the Southern Coast Ranges is key to its quality, with many cool-climate AVAs offering elegant Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Syrah and Merlot. In the hotter parts of the Central Coast, away from the coastal fogs and cold mountain slopes, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Syrah, Grenache and Mourvèdre are exceptional.
