Kerloo Cellars' Grenache Rosé is a thoughtful homage to the classic, pale rosés of Southern France, reimagined through the lens of Washington State's unique terroir. Sourced primarily from high-elevation, sun-drenched vineyards in the Columbia Valley, this wine benefits from the dramatic diurnal temperature shifts of the region, which lock in vibrant acidity while allowing the Grenache grapes to develop complex aromatics. Winemaker Ryan Crane employs a gentle, direct-press method and cool fermentation in stainless steel to preserve the delicate red fruit profiles, stony minerality, and crisp freshness that define this elegant, low-intervention rosé. It stands as a brilliant example of how Washington's volcanic soils and intense sunlight can yield a rosé of immense purity and grace.
