Acaibo - Sonoma Valley 2019
Acaibo, Californian by nature, Bordeaux by culture
Acabio was born from the union of Gonzague & Claire Lurton, owners of Châteaux Durfort-Vivens, a 2nd Grand Cru Classé in Margaux, Ferrière, a 3ème Grand Cru Classé in Margaux and Haut-Bages Libéral, a 5ème Grand Cru Classé in Pauillac. In search of a new adventure together, they acquired a 10-hectare property in the heart of California in 2012. From this epic journey, Acabio was born, taking its name from the native peoples of Sonoma, meaning "Three Fish."
The vineyard of Acabio is located in Chalk Hill in Sonoma County, in the heart of the volcanic and mountainous landscapes of California. True to their values, Claire and Gonzague apply the principles of organic farming, just as they do in Bordeaux. Acabio combines the tradition of Bordeaux winemaking with the sunny and energetic character of Sonoma.
Acabio is distinguished as a refined wine, with a balance between freshness and volume in the mouth that is more reminiscent of Bordeaux standards than traditional Californian wines.The 2019 vintage Tasting notes
