Aligoté in California is rare; good Aligoté in California is rarer still. Terah Bajjalieh, the Bay Area-based winemaker behind Terah Wine Co., found hers at Siletto Family Vineyards in San Benito County — gravelly, well-drained, CCOF-certified organic. Bajjalieh founded the label in 2020 (120 cases in a friend's garage) and now makes around 1,500 cases of minimal-intervention wines from organic and biodynamic growers across California — and is among the most exciting young voices in the state. The Aligoté is fermented in barrel and aged ten months on its lees, unfined and unfiltered. Bright, salty, and food-friendly in the way Aligoté is supposed to be — only now from California, with the texture lees-aging brings.

More about Terah

Terah Bajjalieh ditched finance for winemaking and nobody was happier for it. Her Bay Area project started in a garage in 2020, and now her minimal-intervention wines—made with organic/biodynamic growers across cool California—are in 35 Whole Foods stores. She's drawn to underappreciated varietals like Barbera and Vermentino, and her precision with fermentation makes every bottle feel intentional.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What has to say about this wine:

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Oysters on the half-shell, ceviche, goat cheese salad, sushi, fried chicken, gougères, or a simple herb omelet. Aligoté's high-acid, food-friendly nature shines anywhere you'd reach for a chilled Muscadet.

Tasting Profile

Green apple, lemon pith, white flower, chamomile, and a saline, almost briny edge. Lees aging gives texture and a touch of creamy weight while the acid stays cutting and bright.
