WINEMAKING
The 2023 Grenache Blanc was grown on our estate vineyard, where the cool marine influence and sandy riverbed soils contribute to its expressive aromas and vibrant acidity. The grapes were harvested late in the season to allow for full flavor maturity, with extended hang time enhancing phenolic development. After a gentle pressing and cold fermentation in stainless steel, the wine was aged for eight months at 36°F to preserve its bright, fresh character. The resulting wine is a stunning example of the varietal, with a deep color and balanced complexity that speaks to both the vineyard’s unique terroir and careful winemaking.
