✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Kerloo Cellars' Cabernet Sauvignon represents a thoughtful, terroir-driven approach to Washington State's signature red grape. Sourced from premier Columbia Valley vineyard sites, this wine showcases a commitment to minimal intervention. Unlike the heavily oaked, high-alcohol styles often associated with domestic Cabernet, Kerloo focuses on elegance, freshness, and structural integrity. The fruit is typically fermented using native yeasts and aged in neutral French oak or concrete vessels to preserve the pure, vibrant character of the grape and the unique mineral signatures of Washington's volcanic soils. The result is a sophisticated expression of Cabernet Sauvignon that balances dark fruit flavors with savory complexity and refined tannins.
🍾 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.
