โจ Technical Specifications
JM Cellars' Grenache Blanc showcases the remarkable adaptability of this classic Rhรดne variety in the diverse terroirs of Washington State's Columbia Valley. Sourced from prestigious, sustainably farmed vineyards, this wine is crafted to highlight the grape's natural affinity for balancing rich texture with vibrant, crisp acidity. Winemaker John Bigelow typically utilizes a combination of stainless steel and neutral French oak or concrete fermentation to preserve the delicate aromas of green apple, white peach, and wet stone. This thoughtful approach captures the bright, sun-drenched character of Washington's days alongside the refreshing acidity imparted by its cool desert nights, resulting in a beautifully structured and mineral-driven white wine.
