Meet your new favorite patio white: a dry Albariño from California's Sacramento River Delta, made for seafood.
LIOCO started in 2005, when Kevin O'Connor and Matt Licklider teamed up. Today Matt and his wife Sara own and run it from Healdsburg, and Drew Huffine makes the wines. LIOCO owns no vineyards; it works with growers.
The fruit comes from the McCormack family's Lost Slough Vineyard in Clarksburg, which sits below sea level behind levees. The soils are the black peat of the California Delta, and big swings between hot days and cool nights keep the acidity high. The vines are farmed by hand with no herbicides or pesticides. After an August harvest by hand, the grapes were whole-cluster pressed into 60% stainless steel and 40% neutral oak and aged six months on the fine lees. Malolactic fermentation was blocked to keep it fresh. Only 530 cases were made. Expect green melon, lime blossom and Thai basil, then white grapefruit, nectarine pit and a sea-spray finish.
Try it with fish tacos, ceviche or spanakopita. Serve it well chilled, around 45–50°F.
Our guide to Albariño explains where the grape comes from, and our white wines collection has more like it.
