Eternal Lust 2023 Albarino
This feisty little wine shows white lilies, hay, ruby red grapefruit, and lime zest on the nose. The first sip offers up key lime pie, fresh squeezed lemons, rhubarb and even a little haricot vert on the finish. This fresh and fruity wine pops in your mouth and would be great with oysters or your salad course.

Production notes
Albariño is a grape that like acidity, better yet it needs acidity. This will always be the backbone of a great Albariño. We fermented this wine in Stainless Steel barrels and aged in the same barrels.

Otis Vineyard, one of Washington's oldest vineyards. Located in Grandview WA
Established in 2014 by owner and winemaker Brad Binko. Brad grew up in Buffalo, NY and spent time at Northeastern University, University at Buffalo, and the WWCC Enology and Viticulture program which he is a graduate of. He is a certified sommelier and ran fine dining wine programs in Charleston, SC before moving to Walla Walla to follow his dreams of making wine. As a Sommelier Brad loves wine that show a true sense of where that wine came from. “Its enjoyable to be able to taste 2 different wines made from vineyard directly next to each other. You can harvest the same day and even do the same additions but the final product will be dramatically different due to the native yeast in the vineyard and the micro terrior of each vineyard.” Eternal wines focuses on native yeast, small lot productions with an emphasis on Rhone varietals and age worthy wines.
