Presqu’ile Winery "Aligoté" Santa Maria, California 2024

FROM PRESQU’ILE WINERY:

THE WINE: Fragrant with honeysuckle, jasmine, and white florals, the 2024 Aligoté carries a briny edge and subtle salinity that lift its orchard fruit core. Pear and citrus tones move into a clean, lingering finish. Bright and refreshing, it’s a wine that feels like a long beach day — the perfect transition into evening.

THE PRODUCER: Presqu’ile is a family-owned winery in the Santa Maria Valley, dedicated to crafting exceptional, cool-climate Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Syrah from Santa Barbara County. We designed and planted Presqu’ile Vineyard to create a diverse tapestry of blocks that feature an array of clones, exposures, and elevations. The resulting wines are produced using both estate fruit and high quality fruit from select vineyard sites across the Santa Maria Valley and Santa Rita Hills. Presqu’ile aims to capture the true essence of its vineyards, vintages, and unique senses of place.
