100% Albariño sourced from the rocky Mission Ranch and Cedar Lane vineyards that neighbor the Joyce winery. The extremely well‑drained alluvial soils—a mix of sand, granite, and shale loam—underscore the wine’s signature freshness and minerality. The grapes were hand‑harvested, foot‑stomped, and left on the skins for 4–6 hours before a slow, ambient‑yeast fermentation in 80% stainless steel and 20% neutral French oak. Aged on lees for four months with gentle stirring, the result is an intensely aromatic Albariño, bursting with peach, fresh lime, white flowers, and a distinct salty snap, while the palate layers pineapple core, pink grapefruit, and lime zest over a cool river rock core. It finishes long, mouthwatering, and saline, perfectly capturing Arroyo Seco’s wind‑swept, marine‑influenced character.
