2024 Limited Release Napa Valley Albariño
The Ultimate Apertif & Seafood Companion
Bright, breezy, and effortlessly elegant, this Albariño is a masterclass in refreshment. It opens with an “electric” aromatic profile that perfectly prepares the palate for a rich meal.
-
The Profile: Enticing aromas of lime zest and grapefruit mingle with the crisp sweetness of pear cider and delicate floral notes.
-
The Experience: On the palate, expect a wine that is vibrant and crisp, delivering a refreshing finish that cuts beautifully through the richness of traditional paella.
2022 Limited Release Calistoga Tempranillo
The Heart of the Iberian Soul
Sourced from a tiny, dry-farmed block in the sun-drenched Calistoga AVA, this Tempranillo is rooted in authenticity. Managed by the Arroyo family, whose Spanish heritage ensures the vines are treated with generational expertise, this wine is the quintessential partner for chorizo, socarrat, and grilled meats.
-
The Terroir: Grown on trellised vines in soil perfectly suited for this classic Spanish varietal, resulting in a wine of exceptional character and concentration.
-
The Experience: Bold yet balanced, providing a structured, savory backbone to the set that honors its Old World origins with New World precision.
Why they belong together: Just as a great Paella balances the brightness of lemon and seafood with the smoky depth of paprika and rice, this set offers the full spectrum of flavor—from the zesty heights of the Albariño to the grounded, earthy notes of the Tempranillo.
