2022 Estate Grenache Blanc
100% Grenache Blanc
The harvest of 2022 was preceded by an incredible growing season for the Creekside Vineyard on our estate property. Our unique, single-varietal Grenache Blanc honors the legacy of stewardship passed down from generation to generation.
Meticulously farmed by grower Ruben Solorzano, our 2022 Grenache Blanc was harvested from the Creekside Vineyard of our Folded Hills Estate. Winemaker Michael Brughelli monitors the vineyard carefully, then selects the optimal time for harvesting the grapes. After harvest, the fruit is gently whole-cluster pressed, and the fermentation happens naturally with ambient yeast. Aged for 9 months in 75% neutral French oak and 25% concrete.
