✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Sourced from the cooler, high-elevation slopes of the Blue Mountain Vineyard in the southern foothills of the Walla Walla Valley, this Syrah represents a distinctively elegant, Old World-influenced expression of Washington State. The vineyard's unique microclimate, shaped by cool evening drafts descending from the nearby Blue Mountains, allows the grapes to ripen slowly while retaining exceptional natural acidity. Winemaker Ryan Crane employs low-intervention techniques, often utilizing neutral French oak and concrete vessels to allow the site's true signature to shine. The result is a complex, terroir-driven Syrah defined by its savory character, showcasing notes of cracked black pepper, cured meats, olive tapenade, and fresh dark plum, backed by fine-grained tannins and a vibrant mineral core.
🍾 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.
