Aligoté has lived a tenured life as “the other Burgundian grape.” But as wine becomes more of a luxury good, makers far and ide have started treasuring its forgiving fruitfulness and everyday sensibility. Aligoté is perfectly suited to thrive on the SLO Coast, historically known as “the other cool climate region” on California’s Central Coast … lying quietly in the fog, waiting for the next wine drinker to make it official that they’ve found something special. Known for a blast of fresh citrus flavors, this medium-bodied grape is having a major resurgence as growers look for varieties that can thrive in our extreme coastal vineyards.
