Vineyard Notes: Clockspring Vineyard was established in 1972 & has been certified organic since 1992. Nestled in the heart of the Shenandoah Valley area of Amador County, they grow Albarino, Zinfandel, Primitivo & Tempranillo. The single block of Albarino was planted in 2016 on the south side of Steiner Creek on a northwest-facing slope, providing it with ample afternoon sun, with the proximity of the creek helping to keep temperatures from spiking too high.

Cellar Notes: This is our second vintage of working with this fruit so we were excited to increase our production and hand harvest three tons of grapes in 2025.  We destemmed the cluster to our drain press to receive clean juice and the juice was fermented in stainless steel & neutral oak barrels.  We created a homogenous blend after fermentation and the wine spent two months in the same mixture of neutral oak and stainless steel.  The wine was bottled in November 2025.

Tasting Notes: A lovely representation of the varietal, with bright citrus fruit, nice herbal notes & a grassy/flowery note. The palate has great acidity, plenty of mineral & herb notes & grapefruit throughout he finish.

Pair With: Ceviche, Fried mushrooms, Kimchi jjigae
