About This Wine


Gold Ghost

Albariño

Our Gold Ghost Albariño captures the essence of Clarksburg's cool climate and gentle bay breezes. Each sip offers a perfect balance of crispness and creaminess through notes of stone fruit, citrus and melon. These Albariño vines are descended from cuttings brought over from Spain in the early 2000s. This native Spanish grape has made a new home in Clarksburg's vineyards, where it enjoys breezy days and cool nights nurtured by silty, loam soils. After harvest, the wine is fermented at cool temperatures to preserve freshness and natural acidity. It then ages four months on its sediment or "lees" to enhance its texture and create the satisfying richness you will discover on the palate. Savor the flavors of Clarksburg in every glass, showcasing the magic that happens when Spanish roots meet California's exceptional terroir.

Gold Ghost 2023 Albariño Clarksburg AVA, California

Wine Region


Clarksburg

Lying south of Sacramento in the California Delta, Clarksburg is a small but productive AVA where quality Chardonnay and Chenin Blanc grow in abundance. The San Francisco Bay has a strong influence here, bringing in fog and cool breezes that temper the valley heat. With its flat, mineral-rich clay soils, vines thrive in Clarksburg, needing little attention to produce plenty of quality grapes. Sauvignon Blanc, Viognier, Albariño and the red variety Petite Sirah also produce great wines here.
