Winemakers Note: 

"This is our flagship Albariño from our Terra Alta Vineyard and this wine is now in its 13th vintage. Picked at just over 21 brix we did a slow cold fermentation on the wine to preserve the fresh fruit aromatics. It was then was aged for 5 months in stainless steel. This well balanced Albariño is a wonderful pale platinum color with engaging aromatics of tangerine zest, star fruit, orange blossom and lychee. It has bright acidic flavors of lime zest, guava, and green apple with a touch of under-ripened almond. The finish is clean, long, and lingering." 

About the Vineyard: 

"Terra Alta Vineyard is the beautiful home of our winery facility and is nestled in the toe of the Sierra Foothills. Featuring 80 acres of redding gravelly clay loam, this is the organically certified home of our plantings of Albariño, Garnacha, and Graciano. Markus planted this parcel in 1996 because its climate and soil were almost identical to the vineyards he farmed in the Vaca Mountains of Napa Valley. Those vineyards, like our Terra Alta, are perfect for Mediterranean varieties." 

About the Producer: 

"Markus and Liz Bokisch have been producing award-winning Spanish varietals since the early 2000s.With hearts and heritage of Spain, their inspiration to produce Spanish varietal wines in California began by directly importing budwood from select vineyards in Spain, thus creating Bokisch Vineyards, nestled in the Clements Hills of the Lodi AVA. They began making wine from their estate grown and organically farmed fruit in 2000."
