The Arroyo Seco AVA is recognized as having the longest growing season in California. Strong daily winds that bring cool fog from the Monterey Bay force the grapes to spend more time on the vine building flavor and complexity. Extremely rocky well-drained alluvial soils are the base for creating wines processing freshness and minerality. The combination of sand, granite, and shale loam soils with the ever present marine influence provide the perfect conditions for growing Albariño.
Aromas of peach, piña colada, white flowers, spearmint, and salinity are followed by flavors of white pineapple, pink grapefruit, lime zest, and river rock.
