✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Perched majestically on the dramatic cliffs overlooking the Columbia River, the historic Dionysus Vineyard is one of Washington State's true viticultural treasures. First planted in 1972 as part of the pioneering Sagemoor properties, this site benefits from ancient glacial flood soils and a unique macroclimate that coaxes exceptional depth and structure from Cabernet Sauvignon. Under the thoughtful, low-intervention guidance of winemaker Ryan Crane, Kerloo Cellars crafts a remarkably expressive and soulful wine from these venerable vines. By focusing on minimal oak influence and native yeast fermentations, the wine captures the raw, untamed spirit of the Columbia Valley—balancing intense dark fruit and classic dusty tannins with a vibrant, mineral-driven acidity that pays homage to the Greek god of wine himself.
🍾 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.
