✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Sourced from the historic Upland Vineyard, perched atop Snipes Mountain in the heart of the Yakima Valley, this Grenache is a testament to one of Washington State's most unique terroirs. Upland Vineyard, farmed by the Newhouse family for generations, features steep slopes and ancient, rock-strewn soils deposited by ice-age floods. Winemaker Ryan Crane utilizes low-intervention techniques, often employing concrete fermenters and neutral French oak puncheons, to preserve the grape's vibrant, high-toned red fruit character and delicate floral aromas. This wine captures the essence of Washington Grenache: elegant, aromatic, and structurally refined, far removed from the heavy, over-extracted styles often found elsewhere.
🍾 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.
