Bokisch Vineyards, nestled in the Clements Hills of Lodi, California, stands as a testament to the enduring passion of founders Markus and Liz Bokisch for Spanish wines and viticulture.
Drawing inspiration from Markus’s Spanish heritage and their time spent in Catalonia, the couple pioneered the planting of authentic Iberian grape varieties in California, starting with Albariño, Tempranillo, and Graciano in 1999. Today, Bokisch Vineyards is celebrated for its commitment to sustainable farming, with their 1,000 acres of wine grapes boasting 100% Certified Green status under the Lodi Rules Program, ensuring that their award-winning wines not only taste exceptional but are also produced with environmental stewardship in mind.
The unique offerings from Bokisch Vineyards transport drinkers directly to Spain, showcasing a diverse portfolio of Spanish varietals that include Garnacha Blanca, Verdejo, Monastrell, and more, in addition to their flagship Albariño and Tempranillo. Their dedication extends to rare and pioneering efforts, such as being among the first to produce a Gran Reserva Tempranillo and cultivating Catalan varieties like Xarel·lo, Macabeo, and Parellada. An exciting highlight is their “Lo Xalet” Spanish Style Sparkling Wine, a precursor to their anticipated traditional Catalan Cava release in early 2025, demonstrating their continuous innovation within the realm of Spanish winemaking.
This November, Bokisch Vineyards will bring their distinctive Spanish flair to the Palm Springs Food & Wine Festival, offering attendees a unique opportunity to explore their celebrated wines. As a special treat, Bokisch Vineyards will be giving away a (4) Pack of their exquisite Lo Xalet Spanish Style Sparkling Wine to a lucky festival attendee, providing a perfect introduction to their dedication to quality and their deep connection to the vibrant wine culture of Spain.
