✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Crafted from the high-elevation Art Den Hoed Vineyard located on the south slopes of the Rattlesnake Mountains in Washington's Yakima Valley, this Mourvdre showcases the grape's affinity for dramatic diurnal temperature shifts. Winemaker Ryan Crane utilizes low-intervention techniques, including partial whole-cluster fermentation and aging in neutral French oak, to preserve the raw, wild character of the fruit. The terroir's unique elevation allows the late-ripening Mourvdre to develop complex savory notes of cured meat, white pepper, and dried herbs, balanced by vibrant acidity and structured tannins that pay homage to the classic expressions of the southern Rhne and Bandol.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Kerloo Cellars blev grundlagt i 2007 af vinmageren Ryan Crane i Washington States berømte Walla Walla Valley. Her fremstiller vinhuset håndværksvine med udpræget terroirpræg, som hylder de ypperste vinmarker i Pacific Northwest. Filosofien bygger på minimal intervention, afdæmpet brug af egetræ og spontangæring med naturlig gær, hvor Crane stræber efter at fremhæve den rene, levende frugtkarakter fra anerkendte parceller i Columbia Valley og Yakima Valley. Vinhuset har opnået særlig anerkendelse for sine dynamiske vine i Rhône-stil – især enkeltdarks-Syrah og frisk Grenache Rosé – suppleret af energiske fortolkninger af Tempranillo, Grenache Blanc og Sauvignon Blanc.
