✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Crafted by winemaker Ryan Crane, 'The Endangered' Red Wine is a heartfelt homage to the near-extinct Whooping Crane, whose distinctive 'kerloo' call gave the winery its name. This bottling represents Kerloo Cellars' dedication to low-intervention winemaking and environmental consciousness. Sourced from select, high-elevation vineyards across Washington's Columbia Valley, this Rhône-style blend is fermented using native yeasts and aged in neutral French oak. The goal is to preserve the raw, energetic fruit profile and the distinct stony minerality of the region's volcanic soils, resulting in a wine that is both wild and remarkably elegant.
🍾 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.
