Grape 🍇: Chardonnay
Style 😋: Medium bodied with balanced acidity. Lemon zest, crunchy pear, and a hint of wet stone. Citrus flavors, minerality, and a clean, persistent finish.
Details 📌: Sourced from a selection of organic, cool climate vineyards across Sonoma County. The grapes are hand harvested, whole cluster pressed, and fermented entirely in stainless steel tanks with a portion aged in neutral oak. The wine ages for six months on its lees without stirring, preserving its fresh, mineral driven character before a gentle filtration.
Story 📖: Lioco is a pioneering estate of the New California movement, founded by Matt and Sara Licklider with a mission to craft wines of nuance and place over power. Under the guidance of winemaker Drew Huffine, they champion organic, often dry farmed vineyards across California's best coastal sites. Their philosophy is one of minimal intervention, allowing the pure character of well grown fruit and distinct terroirs to speak with clarity and transparency.
