✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Sourced from the rugged, high-elevation Black Rock Vineyard in Washington's Yakima Valley, this Syrah is a compelling expression of the region's dramatic volcanic terroir. The vineyard is defined by its harsh, rocky basalt soils and arid climate, which force the vines to struggle and produce small, intensely concentrated berries. Winemaker Ryan Crane employs a low-intervention approach, utilizing concrete fermenters and neutral French oak to preserve the pure, wild character of the site. The resulting wine is celebrated for its savory complexity, weaving together notes of dark bramble fruit, smoked meats, cracked black pepper, and a distinct mineral, crushed-stone undertone that reflects its basalt origins.
🍾 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.
