✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Hailing from the arid, sun-drenched Wahluke Slope AVA, the Stone Tree Vineyard is renowned for producing some of Washington State's most compelling Spanish-style reds. Kerloo Cellars harnesses this unique terroir to craft a Tempranillo that bridges Old World soul with New World intensity. The vineyard itself is named after the ancient petrified wood found throughout the region, a testament to the dramatic geological history of the Columbia Basin. Winemaker Ryan Crane utilizes low-intervention techniques, allowing the intense heat and gravelly, silt-loam soils of Stone Tree to express themselves through bold dark fruit, savory tobacco, and leather notes, framed by a rustic yet refined tannic structure.
🍾 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.
