Description:
Produced from grapes grown in the George Saroyan Vineyards near Sanger, California, this blush-style wine is a slightly sweet, yet crisp fruit-forward style wine with bright cherry, kiwi and strawberry flavors. This wine celebrates the memory of George Saroyan, a first cousin to the author William Saroyan. Served chilled, our White Grenache pairs nicely with hors d'oeuvres and light meal venues.

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.
