La Marea 2025 Albariño from Kristy Vineyard in Monterey County offers a unique expression of coastal terroir. White nectarine and honeysuckle aromas blend with lemon zest and a hint of sea spray, creating a vivid and clear profile. The palate reveals underripe pineapple and stone fruit, balanced by a slate-lined mineral core and sleek acidity, delivering a wine that is both refreshing and poised. This Albariño is a testament to the maritime influence and rocky soils of Kristy Vineyard, embodying the Spanish-inspired minimal intervention philosophy of I. Brand & Family.

Composition: 100% Albariño. The vineyard benefits from shallow, rocky soils that impart salinity and tension.

Winemaking: Native fermentation in stainless steel vessels with minimal intervention.

Aging: No oak aging, crafted to highlight the natural fruit purity and minerality.
