The Mettler family heritage honors over 100 years and six generations of
farming in Lodi with the release of our Albariño. This varietal has been
grown in Galicia on the north-western coast of Spain, and northwest
Portugal for around 900 years and is known to be Spain’s most popular white
wine. While gaining popularity among US consumers, there are only about
250 acres of Albariño grown in California. It is noted for its distinctive
botanical aromas, crisp acidity and complexity.
Our 2021 Albariño exudes fresh mango and warm citrus with a touch of
minerality. On the palate, vibrant flavors of crisp apple and honeydew are
accented with a hint of tropical fruit. The clean acidity is balanced by a subtle
richness in the mouthfeel, bringing depth to this well-rounded wine. Pairs
perfectly with a good time!
Our Albariño vineyard is located in the Mokelume River sub-appellation, in
the heart of Lodi. This historical growing region is known for its Tokay-fine
sandy loam soil and breezy cool evenings. It was hand-picked, followed by
whole-cluster pressing, which allows for a less astringent more delicate wine
since it spends less time on the stems and skins.
