Chalone Vineyard Estate Gavilan Grenache

Chalone Vineyard Estate Gavilan Grenache Wine Details
Price:

Description: Similar in color and texture to our Pinot Noir, the Chalone Vineyard Grenache is produced using classic Burgundian techniques. The grapes were destemmed only and poured into open top fermenters. The cap was punched down twice daily and the wine was drained to barrel at dryness. The wine was aged in French oak, 20% of which was new, for 10 months. The wine is 93% Grenache and 7% Syrah.This is a light to medium bodied wine with a lovely, smooth texture and balanced acidity. It reveals lush aromas of raspberries and pomegranates, following with flavors of chocolate covered raspberries. Enjoy it paired with a wide range of dishes, from cassoulet, to grilled tuna steaks, to spicy, barbecued chicken
