✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Kerloo Cellars' Blue Mountain Vineyard Grenache Blanc is a brilliant showcase of Washington State's potential for white Rh%f4ne varieties. Sourced from the cooler, high-elevation Blue Mountain Vineyard nestled in the foothills of the majestic Blue Mountains in the southern Walla Walla Valley, this wine benefits from dramatic diurnal temperature shifts and unique cobblestone and silt loam soils. Winemaker Ryan Crane utilizes low-intervention techniques, often fermenting and aging the wine in a combination of concrete eggs and neutral French oak. This method preserves the grape's natural high acidity while building a beautiful, textured mid-palate. The result is a wine that balances vibrant citrus and stone fruit notes with a distinct saline minerality, reflecting the rugged beauty of its high-altitude terroir.
🍾 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.
