$35.00

Grape: Albariño
Vintage: 2025
Type: White

Grown on the weathered sandstone and limestone soils of the Alisos Canyon AVA, this albariño comes from the biodynamic Martian Ranch Vineyard. Winemaker Alice Anderson utilizes regenerative farming to produce fruit with high natural acidity. Half the early harvest undergoes a four-hour skin maceration, while the remainder is pressed directly. The juice ferments naturally with wild yeasts in neutral French oak before aging on its fine lees to establish a vibrant, site-driven identity.

It pours a pale straw color, releasing aromas of green apple, lime blossom, and sea salt. The palate features a "crystalline" structure, balancing a subtly weighted texture with a sharp beam of maritime acidity. Savory flavors of preserved lemon and apricot blend with a distinct oatmeal undertone from the lees contact. A delicate phenolic grip frames the mid-palate before transitioning smoothly into the finish. It concludes bone-dry, leaving a mouthwatering trace of wet limestone.

We are proud to lovingly tend some of the oldest vines planted and still in production in Santa Barbara County. We are committed to beyond organic farming, embracing the native ecology, integrating animals, and walking our vineyard rows daily. We believe that unmanipulated wines with energy and a sense of place only come with a deep connection to the land.

We lease and farm the Ibarra-Young Vineyard in Los Olivos District A.V.A. This vineyard was planted by Charlotte Young in 1971 and is still owned by her three daughters.

Everything on the property is own-rooted and has been farmed organically since 1993. We began leasing and farming this land at the end of 2019 and have since employed holistic, regenerative organic, and biodynamic practices to reinvigorate the soils that have been working hard for over half a century.

Our goal is to rebuild an ecosystem of native species that live alongside our vine rows, regenerate soil health, and grow the highest quality grapes this site can give. We believe the best wine grapes are grown with minimal inputs and conscious vineyard management. We reject a systematic schedule for viticulture and farming in general. We believe that by working in conjunction with nature we can increase biodiversity and soil health, minimize unnecessary sprays, minimize tractor passes and compaction, decrease water use, and reduce our carbon footprint.
