For this exclusive small production wine, we decided to produce a wine solely from our favorite Clone. The highly aromatic Clone 530 is one of the few clones that comes from the original home of Sauvignon Blanc, France’s Loire Valley. We grow it in the Edna Valley with great success. With a lighter crop and small juicy berries, this clone produces a uniquely expressive wine. While managing the grapes in the vineyard is hard work throughout the growing season, once the wine enters the cellars we keep it cool to preserve the varietal characteristics. Winemaking interventions are minimal with the wine being stored in stainless steel tanks to ensure every glass expresses the aromatic intensity of this beloved variety.

This wine showcases traditional, beloved notes of Albariño including citrus, peach, apricot, fresh mandarin orange and a saline character that maritime Albariño is known for. 

This exotic blend features bright fruit and floral aromas that jump out of the glass. Medium-bodied with crisp acidity and balanced yet intense aromatics of grapefruit, pineapple, melon, and lychee, this wine intrigues. Peach and pear play with a honey sweetness that lingers through to the finish.

One of the largest producers in the state, we have almost 15 acres of this grape, which originates from Austria. Very food-friendly wine! 

The residual natural sweetness is balanced with acidity for a full-bodied late harvest to be enjoyed with pates, assorted cheeses and desserts such as fruit tarts.
