2025 Los Chuchaquis 'Canelo', California

The 2025 Los Chuchaquis “Canelo” is a vibrant skin-contact Albariño from California’s Central Coast, crafted from organically farmed fruit with a minimal-intervention approach that emphasizes texture, energy, and site expression.

Fermented with native yeasts and left on the skins to develop its distinctive amber hue and gentle tannic structure, the wine is bottled unfined and unfiltered with minimal sulfur.

The nose is intensely aromatic, offering notes of dried apricot, orange peel, peach, jasmine, chamomile, and citrus blossom, complemented by hints of ginger, white tea, and crushed herbs.

The palate is lively and textured, balancing bright acidity with delicate phenolic grip and flavors of stone fruit, candied citrus, and a subtle saline minerality that leads to a long, savory finish.

Complex yet remarkably refreshing, it pairs beautifully with grilled seafood, spicy Asian cuisine, roasted vegetables, Moroccan dishes, and aged cheeses.
