2024 Albariño
Tasting Notes
The 2024 Albariño is made in a classic refreshing style. With lower alcohol and flavors of Meyer lemon, tangerine, lime zest, peach blossom and minerality, this wine pairs best with seafood and salad.Winemaker Notes
Albariño is an up and coming grape in California, making waves as a refreshing low-alcohol white wine great for summertime drinking & pairing with seafood. Traditionally made in Spain as a crisp white wine and in Portugal (called Alvarinho there) as “Vinho Verde” (which translates as “green wine”). It is famous for its crisp citrus flavors & refreshing character. We make our Albariño in the classic style, picking early to retain crisp & refreshing flavors as well as to keep the potential alcohol low. The Albariño reached maturity early in the season, being picked in August at 22 brix, while they were still green gold with citrus notes and only a hint of golden fruits. We crushed the grapes & left them on the skins for 24hrs to extract a bit of aromatics, then pressed the juice off. After settling out solids, we fermented the clean & clear juice in stainless steel tanks at cold temperatures to maintain clean aromas & crisp aromatics. The wine is then bottled young to retain its bright and fresh characteristics.Awards
