Description:
What is it with Grenache and winemakers? When the Grenache comes in from harvest, our winemaker Scott can be seen wandering the cave with a blissful smile on his face. He starts arranging wildflowers in the bungholes of barrels, and he positively skips and jumps up and down the steps of our gravity-flow winery. He even starts eating scones...Well, whatever it is, we've bottled it for you in this Grenache. You've been warned!

Varietal Definition
Grenache:
Grenache Noir is the world’s most widely planted grape used to make red wine, sometimes made into a stand-alone varietal, frequently as a Rosé, but most often as a backbone of red blends. Its strength is its ability to grow in arid and windy conditions. It’s particularly suited to warm coastal regions of California, Spain and France. Grenache-based wines tend to be high in alcohol, with attractive fruit qualities in youth and a sweet berry character.Used as a component in some Northern Rhône reds, nearly exclusively for Rhône Rosés and as the primary component in nearly all Southern Rhône red blends, Grenache is probably most notable as the base varietal for Chateauneuf du Pape, Cotes du Rhône and Gigondas. In spite of its fame coming from French wines, Spain is most likely this grape’s origin.
