Thee and Thou Albarino

Thee And Thou winery, located in North Yuba County, California was formed by John Donaghue, a former skyscraper engineer who discovered his passion for winemaking while working alongside Gideon Beinstock of Clos Saron. Using low-intervention procedures, neutral wood, and natural fermentations, John has developed his talents through years of hands-on experience to create distinct and expressive wines. His never-ending search for unique terroirs has taken him to other locations like as Lodi, where he continues to make rich, balanced, and age-worthy wines.

The Terra Alta vineyard in Lodi's Clements Hills area produces Thee And Thou's Albariño. The grapes, grown in sandy clay loam soils, benefit from the area's extensive diurnal swings, resulting in exceptional acidity. The grapes for this lovely white wine are harvested early in the morning, followed by foot-stomping and skin maceration for around five days before pressing. Following fermentation, the wine is aged in neutral French oak for ten months before being bottled un-fined and unfiltered. Appreciate its bright, zesty tastes, which include notes of crisp green apple, juicy peach, and a hint of mineral tones, making it ideal for seafood meals and warm summer evenings.
