A stunning Albariño with texture, tension, and a distinct sense of place. Fermented and aged in concrete, this is Washington white wine at its most expressive—bright, layered, and wildly refreshing.
Taste | Vibrant and lifted, this Albariño shows zesty notes of lemon peel, green apple, and underripe peach layered over wet stone, white flowers, and a touch of saline minerality. The 48-hour skin contact adds grip and aromatic depth, while fermentation in concrete eggs brings a beautiful texture and long, elegant finish. Fresh, precise, and structured without losing an ounce of charm.
About the Winery/Winemaker | Lucius Wines is a new exploration from Andrew Latta, inspired by his great-grandfather and rooted in curiosity. The Lucius label allows Andrew to experiment with new varietals and methods while honoring Washington's dynamic terroirs. This Albariño hails from Lawrence Vineyard—one of the state’s most exciting high-elevation sites—bringing together thoughtful farming and forward-thinking winemaking.
Why We Love It | This is Albariño with edge and elegance. The combination of skin contact, concrete fermentation, and extended aging creates a white wine of uncommon depth and texture, without sacrificing brightness. It’s a wine for sipping, thinking, and discovering—ideal for lovers of both classic Spanish whites and innovative Northwest expressions.
