✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Named 'Ora Labora'—Latin for 'pray and work'—this cuvée pays homage to the monastic devotion of historical winemakers, a philosophy that resonates deeply with Paul Lato's meticulous, hands-on approach. Sourced from the legendary Bien Nacido Vineyard in the cool Santa Maria Valley, this Grenache benefits from the region's unique transverse mountain range, which funnels chilly Pacific breezes and fog directly into the vines. This cool-climate terroir allows the Grenache grapes to undergo a long, slow ripening process, preserving vibrant acidity while developing complex layers of white pepper, wild strawberry, and dried floral notes. Crafted with minimal intervention, the wine is aged in select French oak barrels to enhance its silky texture and seamless structure, resulting in an exceptionally elegant and perfumed expression of California Grenache.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Paul Lato Wines er et anerkendt boutique-vinhus i Santa Barbara County, Californien, grundlagt i 2002 af den polskfødte tidligere sommelier Paul Lato. Med udgangspunkt i en kompromisløs, håndværksmæssig og minimalistisk vinfremstilling, hvor terroirets renhed og balance er i højsædet, samarbejder Lato med nogle af Central Coasts mest prestigefyldte kølige vinmarker, herunder Bien Nacido, Solomon Hills og Larner. Vingården høster stor international anerkendelse for sine intenst aromatiske, teksturerede og nuancerede Pinot Noir-, Syrah-, Grenache- og Chardonnay-vine i mikrolodder, som roses for deres rene frugtudtryk, strukturelle præcision og karakteristiske, poetiske cuvée-navne.
