✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Kerloo Cellars' Lonesome Spring Ranch Sauvignon Blanc is a compelling expression of Washington State white wine, sourced from the warm, arid Yakima Valley. Winemaker Ryan Crane utilizes fruit from Lonesome Spring Ranch, a vineyard highly regarded for its diverse soils and intense sun exposure, balanced by cool desert nights. To craft a Sauvignon Blanc with exceptional texture and complexity rather than simple, one-dimensional grassiness, Kerloo often employs concrete egg fermentation and aging in neutral French oak. This approach preserves the grape's vibrant, high-toned acidity while introducing a creamy, mineral-laden mouthfeel. The result is a wine that bridges the gap between the flinty precision of Sancerre and the ripe, tropical fruit profile of the New World.
🍾 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.
