2019 DIONYSTIC 'Albus' Alvarinho
There’s something about those wines made from oceanic grapes. My current wine obsession is what I call “Coastal Whites”. Wines from the coasts of Italy, Spain, France, Croatia, Greece, and Portugal….This is my Oregon version of these salty and refreshing wines.

Limes & Salty Air 🧙🏼♂️
I’m attracted to that aromatic sensation of ocean air, Mediterranean fruits, shellfish, sand, and sea water that you get when you drink white wines. Our ‘Albus’ is made from 100% Alvarinho (Portuguese version of Albariño) grapes. It is the Northern most Alvarinho found in the Willamette Valley, Oregon. This wine is a co-fermentation of two vineyard sources, both planted in Loess soils.
