Winemaker Notes
This wine has effusive white peach and orange blossom aromas with bitter almond and citrus notes framed by white stone minerals. On the palate the wine has a lovely ethereal texture that makes you want to go back for more.

COMMENTARY: The 2018 Verdad Albariño from the Sawyer Lindquist Vineyard is an excellent example of how well this grape variety has performed in the New World. TASTING NOTES: This wine is active, bright, and crisp. Its aromas and flavors of fresh-picked fruit and chalk should pair well with grilled oysters and a splash of Meyer lemon. (Tasted: August 19, 2019, San Francisco, CA)

A scent of salted pineapple gives way to tangy tropical fruit flavors in this cool white. It feels tart and lemony, the rich fruit balanced by acidity. Pour it with calamari.

Verdad is devoted to making Spanish grape varietal wines that express true varietal character as well as the vineyard’s terroir. The grapes are sourced from organic and biodynamic vineyards and are minimally processed in the cellar. The philosophy behind the winemaking is to grow the best fruit possible, pick at optimum balance and let the wines reflect what the vineyards have created.
The first vintage for Verdad was 2000. Verdad makes a dry Grenache based Rosé, a Santa Ynez Valley Albariño and Tempranillo as well as a Demeter certified biodynamic Albariño and Tempranillo from the Sawyer Lindquist Vineyard. The total production is about 2000 cases.
