✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Sourced from the historic Upland Vineyard, perched on the unique anticline of Snipes Mountain in the Yakima Valley, this Syrah is a testament to Washington State's deep viticultural roots. Upland Vineyard boasts a legacy tracing back to the pioneering plantings of William B. Bridgman in 1917. The terroir here is defined by ancient, sun-baked river cobbles left behind by the ancestral Columbia River, which force the vines to struggle and yield highly concentrated fruit. Winemaker Ryan Crane coaxes an Old World sensibility from these grapes, employing low-intervention techniques and neutral vessel aging to preserve the vineyard's distinctive voice. The resulting wine is celebrated for its complex interplay of dark bramble fruit, cured meats, black olive tapenade, and a stony, mineral-driven finish.
🍾 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.
