100% Albarino. Pale lemon in color. Delicate and inviting bouquet of butter cream, iris, wildflower, chalk, and bright citrus, lemon-lime, mandarin orange, ripe pineapple, grapefruit, and crisp apple mingle with hints of kumquat and preserved lemon. The palate is vibrant and refreshing, showing flavors of honeysuckle, citrus zest, honeydew melon, passion fruit, ripe yellow peach, and a touch of lemon drop candy, lifted by subtle wildflower honey. This dry wine carries medium acidity, body, and flavor intensity, balanced by a graceful elegance that makes it irresistibly thirst-quenching. The finish lingers at a medium-plus length, leaving a garden-fresh impression.
Food Pairing: Fresh oysters, shrimp ceviche, grilled fish tacos, lemon-herb chicken, sushi, paella, summer salads, manchego cheese, goat cheese, citrus-glazed vegetables, smoked chicken, BBQ shrimp, chili-lime grilled corn, queso fresco with jalapeños, and spicy Tex-Mex tacos.
McPherson Cellars Description
Few people can imagine something that doesn’t exist yet. Dr. Clinton ‘Doc’ McPherson was one of those rare dreamers. In the late ‘60s, he planted experimental vineyards in Lubbock, testing varieties for quality fruit. His Sangiovese in our Estate Sagmor Vineyard was the first in Texas and still produces fruit for our flagship wines. Doc played a key role in founding the Texas High Plains AVA, paving the way for future Texas winemakers with his abundant humor and irrepressible curiosity. We continue to celebrate the High Plains and honor Doc’s pioneering spirit by dreaming big about the future of Texas wine. McPherson Cellars is a collaboration between small West Texas farmers and our urban Lubbock winery housed in a 1930s-era Coca Cola bottling plant, led by Winemaker Kim McPherson and Assistant Winemaker Spenser Igo. Our purpose is to celebrate the character of our individual vineyards while raising the profile of Texas wine as a whole.

A citrus-driven nose of kumquats and preserved lemons turns to under-ripe yellow peach and wildflower honey on the palate. Delicate, elegant, and irresistibly thirst-quenching, this garden-ready white will be at home with any Spring pastas--ours has English peas, mint, and morels!
