- Fermented with native yeast in a mix of neutral French oak cigar barrels. Gentle lees stirring early, then the secondary conversion that softens acidity, and aging on the lees. Some lots were racked off the gross lees early to preserve aromatics. Before bottling, racked to stainless steel to blend, then bottled unfined and unfiltered with minimal sulfites.

Mazette Wines
Mazette was founded in 2024 by Zach Petersen, a surfboard maker and brewer who jumped to wine after time in Santa Barbara County. He learned in cellars at Sandhi and Domaine de la Côte in Lompoc, spent time with hands‑on winemakers in Australia, and worked at Domaine Alain Graillot in the Rhône.
He started Mazette by taking on neglected pocket vineyards across the Santa Ynez Valley, often half an acre to a few acres, farming them by hand with no‑till and cover crops. In 2026 he signed a long contract to farm Viña de Santa Ynez, a historic 11‑acre site with old Sauvignon Blanc, and continues to rehabilitate small sites with coastal influence.
Today Mazette makes Sauvignon Blanc, Grenache and Syrah from these scattered parcels. Fermentations are spontaneous with native yeast, sulfur is kept minimal, white wines are barrel fermented, and all wines age in neutral French oak, aiming for wines that feel alive and transparent to site.
