2023 Grenache Blanc
2023 Grenache Blanc
100% Grenache Blanc:
Crater View Vineyard.
Our first Grenache Blanc, and our first foray into Southern Oregon! We wanted to make this wine with an eye to summers on the patio, and so we fermented it dry and blocked malolactic fermentation, much like what we do with our Grenache Rosé. The finished wine has a great weight and mouthfeel, starting with a bit of richness and viscosity and then proceeding to a crisp and clean finish.
Tasting Notes: This wine starts with a soft and pretty nose filled with wisps of lemon balm and tropical fruit. The palate is a grand adventure of lemon curd, lime zest, and toasted merengue. It's zippy acidity and hint of salinity on the finish leaves you craving a little more. This would be a fantastic accompaniment to grilled seafood and warm weather.
