Appellation (AVA): North Yuba, Sierra Foothills, CA

Vineyard: Markus Brockish’s Vineyard

Grapes: Roughly 50% Albariño and 50% Verdelho with a small amount of Sauvignon Blanc

Soil: Deep, alluvial soils rich of ferrous, granitic sand

Vinification: Whole clusters of both varieties were very thoroughly foot crushed together in harvest bins to avoid any whole-berry, enzymatic fermentation. After 4 days of maceration, the wine was pressed into neutral barrels for aging on gross lees.

Tasting Notes: Tangerine, grapefruit, citrus pith, roses. Bright, tart but creamy. Medium bodied and dry.

Service and Food Pairing Suggestion: Serve slightly chilled, but not too cold. Pair with poached grouper with a white wine reduction and a white curry, and finish with pink grapefruit juice.

Organic, sustainable. 750 ml. 12% alcohol by volume.
