Growing Conditions

Gård Vintners is 100% estate grown sustainably at Lawrence Vineyards in the Royal Slope AVA. Lawrence Vineyards features seven distinct vineyard sites with elevations ranging 930 feet to 1,675 feet. The combination of elevation and south-facing slope provides a great framework for grape production, while the diversity of the seven locations delivers a high level of complexity to Gård wines. Lawrence Vineyards is certified sustainable.

Nose

Dried apricot, lemon zest, caramelized papaya, and vanilla bean. Swirling brings nectarine, honeydew melon, rock salt, and a touch of acacia wood.

Palate

The mouthfeel is mid-bodied, with tons of fresh stone fruits, creamy texture, and lifted acidity. This Albariño finishes long and energetic, with the perfect amount of mid-palate sweetness, chalky minerality, and a touch of citrus. Enjoy now or in the next 8 years.

Aging

Barrel fermented and aged in new and neutral 500L puncheons for 16 months.
