Tasting notes

Intense, classic aromas of citrus, lime and white peach , with floral overtones of honeysuckle and a minerality reminiscent of wet stones. Fresh, lively and mouthfilling, with bright acidity that follows through with an elegant, crip finish. I would recommend serving it with raw or grilled seafood (it's a classic with oysters and clams), smoked salmon, sushi and Asian cuisine and for sure, with tapas!

Vinification and aging

The harvested grapes were gently whole-cluster pressed and fermented in stainless steel. After the primary fermentation, the wine went 100% through malolactic fermentation until bottling in early spring.

Terroir

The vineyard is located in the Green Valley, the coolest, foggiest region of the Russian River Valley, only ten miles from the Pacific. The Albariño is trained in a cordon style with alternating spurs, which adds width to the fruit zone and provides optimum air flow and light quality.
