Tasting Notes

Bright, zesty, and mineral-driven, the 2022 Two Shepherds Albariño captures the essence of this Iberian varietal with a distinctly California expression. Expect a burst of citrus, sea spray, and green melon, followed by subtle white floral notes and a linear, stony finish. Lively acidity keeps it mouthwatering and versatile, making it an ideal wine for warm-weather sipping or complex seafood dishes. 

Winemaker Notes

Aromas

  • Lime zest, lemon pith, jasmine, and a touch of fresh-cut herbs

Palate

  • Crisp and saline with notes of green apple, underripe peach, and Meyer lemon, balanced by a soft, textured mid-palate

Finish

  • Clean, taut, and refreshing, with a lingering minerality and citrus blossom echo

This Albariño is fermented with native yeasts and aged in stainless steel to preserve its vibrant character and sense of place. Hand-harvested fruit, low-intervention winemaking, and no additions beyond a minimal amount of SO₂ at bottling.

Food Pairing Suggestions

The 2022 Albariño's brightness and structure make it an exceptional pairing partner:

  • Fresh oysters or clams on the half shell

  • Grilled shrimp skewers with citrus glaze

  • Ceviche or crudo with lime and chili

  • Vietnamese rice paper rolls with herbs

  • Goat cheese or aged Manchego

Its crisp acidity and saline edge perfectly cut through rich seafood or highlight umami-driven vegetarian dishes.

Why We Love It

Two Shepherds has a knack for coaxing elegance and energy from lesser-seen varietals, and this Albariño is no exception. We love how it offers both Old World structure and New World brightness, with a clean, natural winemaking ethos behind it. It’s the kind of wine you reach for when you want something thoughtful yet unpretentious—and it never fails to impress on the table or patio.
