This wine comes entirely from Martian Ranch Vineyard in Alisos Canyon AVA. Martian Ranch has been farmed biodynamically since its inception and has been Demeter certified since 2010. Alisos Canyon AVA lies directly in the middle of Santa Ynez Valley AVA and Santa Maria AVA and has a unique set of both AVA’s characteristics. This vineyard lies on the hills of the San Antonio Creek Valley, it gets warm in the day, and cools off with coastal fog in the evening. The soils are rich in calcium from the Paso and Sisquoc formations and are composed of weathered sandstone, shale, and marly limestone. 

More Info

The grapes were harvested in the early morning of September 10 around 21 brix. Upon arriving at the cellar, half of the Albariño grapes were crushed to macerate on skins for four hours, while the other half was sent directly to press. The two lots were pressed and sent to tank separately to settle overnight. This Albariño fermented in neutral French oak barrels and spent elevage on its fermentation lees before it came together about two months before its bottling date to integrate itself to all that it is. The 2024 Albariño was bottled unfined and unfiltered on March 18, 2025.

Tasting Notes

Sunny and warm for your perfect spring picnic. She’s salty and zesty and a little floral too.
Like cracking open a jar of cottage-made preserved lemon to brighten up your favorite recipes. She's the ideal shellfish companion and lite bite delight.

  • about the label

    Art: The tarweed on the front was painted by my talented mom, Eileen Anderson. Deinandra fasciculata, yellow tarweed, grows in this vineyard and is native to Central and Southern California. The Chumash harvested tarweed seeds, mashed them, and combined them with water to make a raw seed ball. Tarweed was a big part of their diet in the summertime as it thrives in dry soils. The biodynamic preparations on the back label are painted by me. They are an ode to all of the care that goes into maintaining a symbiotic relationship with the vineyard and its surrounding ecology.
