Bright, crisp and refreshing with salty sea breeze and lime zest. Light bodied with a pleasing texture, zippy acidity and a clean finish. Malolactic fermentation was blocked to keep the wine fresh and lively, making it a natural match for oysters, shellfish and light seafood dishes.
LIOCO was founded by Matt Licklider and Kevin O'Connor, with a focus on site-driven California wines made with a light hand. This Albariño comes from the Lost Slough Vineyard in Clarksburg, planted in 2000 and farmed by hand without herbicides or pesticides. The fruit was hand harvested, whole cluster pressed and fermented in a mix of stainless steel and neutral oak. Only 530 cases were produced.
