Tasting Notes: An aromatic white of striking lift and texture, the "Che Fico" opens with jasmine and honeysuckle blossom layered over pink grapefruit zest. The palate carries Asian pear, yellow apple, and flashes of lemon curd, balanced by bright acidity and a firm mineral spine, and finishes dry with lingering citrus and crushed stone.

Vineyard:  Lost Slough Vineyard, nestled in the heart of the Clarksburg AVA, lies on land that was once beneath the sea, imparting a distinctive saline minerality to its wines. The vineyard’s shallow clay loam soils, scattered with ancient seashells, force vines to struggle, yielding intensely flavorful fruit. Cooled by the famed Delta Breeze and lingering coastal fog, this unique microclimate allows for slow, even ripening, resulting in wines of remarkable balance, freshness, and depth.

Vintage: The 2023 growing season at Lost Slough Vineyard was defined by abundant winter rains, a cool spring, and an extended ripening period, resulting in one of Clarksburg’s finest vintages. Falanghina was harvested on October 15th at 20 degrees Brix and 3.1 pH, showcasing remarkable flavor development at low sugar levels. With no extreme heat and the steady influence of the Delta Breeze, the fruit retained vibrant acidity and balance, producing wines of exceptional freshness and elegance.
