✨ Tekniske specifikationer
The Boushey Vineyard, nestled in the cooler, high-elevation slopes of Washington's Yakima Valley, is legendary among Pacific Northwest winemakers. Managed by the iconic grower Dick Boushey, this site is renowned for yielding Rhône varietals of incredible depth and complexity. Kerloo Cellars harnesses this exceptional fruit to craft a Mourvèdre that champions low-intervention winemaking. Fermented with native yeasts and aged primarily in neutral French oak, this wine is a pure expression of its terroir. It beautifully balances the wild, savory, and rustic character of the Mourvèdre grape—marked by notes of dark berries, cured meats, and white pepper—with the bright acidity and mineral tension characteristic of Boushey's unique silt loam soils.
🍾 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.
