✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Sourced from the unique terroir of the Yakima Valley, the Painted Hills Vineyard Grenache Rosé is a testament to Kerloo Cellars' commitment to low-intervention winemaking. The vineyard itself is situated in a region defined by the dramatic history of the prehistoric Missoula Floods, which left behind deep, well-draining sandy loam soils. This terroir, combined with the warm days and cool nights of the Columbia Valley, allows the Grenache grapes to ripen fully while retaining their vital, vibrant acidity. Winemaker Ryan Crane utilizes gentle direct-pressing of the whole clusters to achieve a pale, delicate salmon hue and to preserve the bright, high-toned red fruit aromatics and mineral tension that define this Provence-style Washington rosé.
🍾 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.
