✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Kerloo Cellars' Syrah represents winemaker Ryan Crane's dedication to capturing a Northern Rhône-inspired expression within the dramatic landscapes of Washington State. Drawing inspiration from the wild, untamed call of the near-extinct Whooping Crane, this Syrah is crafted with a low-intervention philosophy that allows the unique terroir of the Columbia and Walla Walla Valleys to shine. Utilizing traditional techniques such as partial whole-cluster fermentation and aging in neutral French oak and concrete, the wine coaxes out the savory, mineral-driven side of the grape. It avoids the heavy-handed oak and over-extraction often found in New World styles, instead delivering a beautifully textured, aromatic profile defined by fresh dark fruits, cracked black pepper, and a distinct earthy complexity that pays homage to classic Old World Syrah.
🍾 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.
