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 characteristics from both AVAs. This vineyard lies on the hills of the San Antonio Creek Valley where 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 Albarino was harvested in the early morning of September 4th around 20.5 Brix on a root day. 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 partially in barrel, and partially in tank before it came together about two months before its bottling date to integrate into its final form. The 2025 Albariño was bottled unfined and unfiltered on March 25, 2026.

Tasting Notes

Sunny and warm for your perfect spring picnic. She’s salty and zesty, and a little floral too.
Imagine yourself walking through a ripe apricot orchard and cracking open a jar of cottage-made preserved lemon to top your summer salad. She's the ideal shellfish companion and light-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 the care involved in maintaining a symbiotic relationship with the vineyard and its surrounding ecology.
