✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Kerloo Cellars' Red Willow Vineyard Syrah is a tribute to one of Washington State's most legendary and historic wine-growing sites. Located in the far western reaches of the Yakima Valley, Red Willow Vineyard was pioneered by Mike Sauer, who famously partnered with Master of Wine David Lake to plant the very first Syrah vines in Washington here in 1986. Sourced from these steep, rocky slopes with ancient, well-drained soils, Kerloo Cellars' expression of this fruit is crafted with a low-intervention philosophy. Winemaker Ryan Crane coaxes an Old World-leaning style from this historic terroir, showcasing the vineyard's signature savory complexity, marked by notes of smoked meats, black olive tapenade, dried herbs, and a distinct stony minerality, all balanced by deep, dark fruit.
🍾 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.
