Our Albariño is sourced from the Sweetwater Ranch located in the rolling hills east of King City in Monterey County. It was originally planted as Cabernet Sauvignon in 2000 in a hillside block consisting of a sandy loam soil with moderate to high vigor. It was grafted to clone 5 Albariño in 2006 and is cropped at 4½ to 5 tons per acre.
A relative newcomer to California vineyards but a keeper. This wine is full of wonderful citrus and peach charaters with a nice crisp finish.
Enjoy this wine with shrimp scampi, grilled cod, and poultry or with green olives and light cheeses
