2022 L’Acadiane Albariño

Description

Bright and crisp, this refreshing white wine pays tribute to the heritage and culture of the original French settlers of Louisiana. The grapes were picked in the early morning of September 6th from Las Brisas Vineyard in the Los Carneros region of Sonoma and were fermented using native yeasts, then aged sur lees in stainless steel. In the glass, the wine has a pale straw color. Aromas of grapefruit, honeydew melon, and nectarine are complemented with lemon zest and river rocks. It has a light refreshing mouthfeel with a bright finish.
