Aligote Jolie-Laide 2022 Dry White Wine

Discover the crisp elegance of Jolie-Laide Wines’ 2022 Aligoté—a refreshing California white crafted for lovers of mineral-driven whites with coastal flair. Hailing from prized vineyards in northern Russian River Valley and San Benito County, this wine blends bright acidity with earthy complexity for a taste experience that evolves beautifully over time.

Unwind with aromas of ripe Forelle pear and green apple mingling with delicate white flower notes, while a striking wet stone minerality adds depth on the palate. The oceanic salinity hints at its cool-climate heritage, creating a crisp yet balanced finish that’s perfect for warm evenings or seafood-focused meals.

Crafted using traditional methods—whole-cluster pressing followed by fermentation in concrete eggs and neutral puncheons—this wine retains vibrant freshness thanks to native yeast fermentation. Its restrained elegance opens up gradually after pouring, rewarding patience with layers of complexity ideal for sipping alone or pairing with shellfish, light salads, or creamy cheeses.

At 12.5% alcohol by volume, it offers approachable richness without heaviness. A standout choice for fans of Chardonnay seeking a lighter alternative or Aligoté enthusiasts exploring California’s lesser-known varietals.
