✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Kerloo Cellars' Sauvignon Blanc is a brilliant showcase of Ryan Crane's minimalist winemaking philosophy, offering a textured, mineral-driven expression that stands apart from more tropical New World styles. Sourced primarily from the cooler, high-elevation sites of the Yakima Valley—most notably the legendary Boushey Vineyard—the fruit benefits from dramatic diurnal temperature shifts that preserve its electric, natural acidity. To build complexity and a refined mouthfeel without sacrificing freshness, Crane employs a combination of concrete egg fermentation and neutral French oak aging. This technique coaxes out a flinty, wet-stone minerality and a beautiful weight on the palate, paying homage to the classic, soil-expressive Sauvignon Blancs of the Loire Valley while retaining a distinct Washington State identity.
🍾 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.
