Winemaker's Tasting Notes
It features vibrant notes of citrus, green apple, and a hint of salinity, reflecting the coastal influence. This Albariño is crafted with minimal intervention, allowing the natural acidity and freshness of the grape to shine through.

Sourced from sustainably farmed vineyards in Santa Barbara County, this Albariño is a testament to Raj Par’s meticulous winemaking approach. The grapes are gently pressed and fermented with native yeasts to preserve the wine’s expressive character. A brief maturation on the lees adds subtle richness and complexity, resulting in a well-balanced wine with a lively, enduring finish. The 2023 vintage reflects exceptional growing conditions, offering a vibrant and refined wine.

92 Points - Wine Advocate
Sourced from North Canyon Vineyard, the 2023 Albariño opens with even-keeled classic aromas of grapefruit zest, white peach skin and hints of exotic bright spices. Light-bodied and clean on the palate with a supple-meets-tensile texture, the finish features a subtle but persistent phenolic grip and concludes on a crunchy, floral note.
