'Lieu Dit' is named after the French wine term that refers to a historical plot or section within a Climat or vineyard.
This producer, focusing on their terroir in California has been an absolute favourite of ours since visiting the sunshine state a couple years ago.
Long time mates; Eric Railsback and Justin Willett met in Santa Barbara (southern California) at the start of their careers and shared a love of Loire Valley varieties.
Lieu Dit focuses on Loire grapes, through the eyes of Santa Barbara County. Namely Santa Ynez and Santa Maria valleys. The pair creates wines of serious elegance and vivacity.
