Albariño is native to Spain, where it is grown in the Rias Baixas appellation in Galicia region (that part of Spain above Portugal). This is the only part of Spain situated on the cooler waters of the Atlantic Ocean. This varietal grows best in areas with salty ocean breezes in the afternoon and cool nights, exactly the growing conditions in Edna Valley, which is only a few miles from the Pacific Ocean and about 30 miles south of Paso Robles.
Weather conditions in 2011 were challenging in the late spring, with severe frost in April. Edna Valley escaped most of the problems experienced in Paso Robles, but rain was looming when the grapes were harvested in late October. The grapes had good color and soft tannins with higher acidity, characteristic of the 2011 harvest.
