Anthony Perliss of Perliss Vineyard envisioned creating wines perfectly suited for restaurant settings. This old-vine Albariño from Uptown Vineyards in Lodi is a testament to that philosophy. Fermented in a mix of vessels—amphora, stainless steel, and barrels, with amphora being the primary method—it is racked, blended, and bottled after nine months. This wine surprises with its restraint and elegance, deviating from the tropical ripeness typically associated with Lodi. Instead, it offers white peach, apricot, orange zest, and high-toned spicy wild herbs, with a touch of ginger leaping from the glass. Medium-bodied on the palate, it balances lush, silky orchard and tropical fruits with notes of dried mango and candied apricot. The finish is long, clean, and marked by salty minerals and zesty citrus character, delivering a vibrant and polished expression of Albariño, making it an ideal dinner companion.
