Winemaker Notes
The 2020 Grenache Blanc was picked at the peak of ripeness to retain acidity & fresh fruit flavors. Once picked the grapes are crushed and left to cold soak on skins (~24 hours). This is done to help extract aromatics and some tannin that help boost and balance the wine. After the short cold soak, the grapes are then pressed, and the juice is pumped into a stainless steel tank. After a cold settling, we inoculated with an aromatic white wine yeast and fermented the clean & clear juice in stainless steel tanks at cold temperatures (55 degrees Fahrenheit) to maintain clean and crisp aromatics. After fermentation completed the wine was left to age on lees to add weight and depth to the final product. The resulting wine is one with bright and crisp aromatics with a long elegant finish.
