From the Outward Wines website:

Outward Wines is focused on producing small-lot, site-specific wines that collectively showcase the diversity of terroir across California’s Central Coast. They currently farm approximately six acres of vines across 4 different vineyard sites: one in Arroyo Grande and three in the Santa Ynez Valley. Outside of the grapes we farm ourselves, we source from other thoughtfully farmed, coastal-influenced vineyards that span the Central Coast, including sites in Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo, Monterey, and San Benito counties. All of the vineyards that we work with are farmed organically at minimum and are located in close proximity to the cold Pacific Ocean. In the cellar we strive to minimize inputs throughout the winemaking process in order to allow for a clear picture of what the site can provide naturally, and to give the wine a true sense of time and place. To that end, we utilize native yeast to carry out fermentations, age exclusively in old French oak barrels, and bottle without fining or filtration.
