Albariño - Grand Island, Proyecto Terruño 2024

ALBARIÑO Proyecto Terruño 2024 - Released April 2025

Grand Island Vineyard, Clarksburg AVA, California

TASTING NOTES

The nose is intensely alive with ripe stonefruit, orange peel, and lemon meringue. The palate is balanced with lemon, grapefruit and a silky mineral texture. A racing river of refreshing acidity moves down the edge of your tongue, bright, with fresh salinity. A beautiful weight from the lees accents a medium plus finish, enticing you back for another sip. This single varietal Albariño calls to Rias Baixas or a textured white wine from the Loire but from the certified sustainable Grand Island Vineyard in Clarksburg AVA. 

WINEMAKER'S NOTES

When the balance in acid, flavours and sugars was found, we called an overnight hand-pick of the fruit at Grand Island Vineyard, on September 3, 2024. The Albariño was gently whole cluster pressed and settled and cooled on site then transported up carefully to Terravista. The free run juice was separated then fermented partially in a concrete egg, with the remainder in stainless steel.
