Bokisch Vineyards – 2022
Clemente Hills, Lodi AVA – California 🇺🇸

Overview
Made from 100% Albariño, sourced from the family’s Tierra Alta Vineyard in Clemente Hills, Lodi. Bokisch is a benchmark in the U.S. for Spanish varietals, crafting fresh, terroir-driven wines that balance ripeness with crisp vibrancy.

Aromas & Flavors
Baked pineapple, white peach, and citrus zest. White floral tones on the nose, followed by subtle salinity that lifts the fruit.

Mouthfeel
Crisp, refreshing, and energetic acidity. Dry yet balanced, with a mouthwatering finish that’s vibrant but never harsh.

Food Pairings
Perfect with oysters, grilled shrimp, ceviche, or any shellfish. A natural pairing with Spanish tapas.

Verdict
Extremely refreshing and dangerously delicious—this is Albariño at its most vibrant, proving why Bokisch is leading the charge for Iberian varietals in California. Cheers!

✨ Did You Know?
Albariño originates from Rías Baixas in Galicia, Spain, where it thrives in cool, Atlantic-influenced vineyards. Bokisch was one of the first California pioneers to plant it, adapting the variety beautifully to Lodi’s climate while maintaining that signature saline snap.
