Ridge Vineyards Grenache Blanc, 2022

Ridge Vineyards Grenache Blanc, 2022

Regular price $32.00

This wine is made from 84% Grenache Blanc, 14% Picpoul, and 2% Roussane, from the Rhone-varietal heavy Paso Robles. We would pair it with grilled sea bass, served with broccolini. The wine is aged a mixture of new/used American Oak, French Oak, and clay amphora, bringing out loads of interesting texture, under the blend's naturally fresh acidity. Cool nights and warm days in Paso Robles also help the grapes maintain their acidity and mouthwatering fruit.

Details

From the winery: Western Paso Robles is the epicenter of new Rhône plantings in California. We first sourced Rhône grapes for our Grenache Blanc from Adelaida Vineyards. This was followed by a second bottling with grapes from Halter Ranch. Both vineyards are in the cooler climate and limestone soils of the Adelaida Hills District within the Paso Robles AVA. Then Mike Dusi approached us about planting Grenache Blanc at his nearby Fossil Creek Vineyard if we would be interested in the grapes, and we said yes. In 2022 we received the first Fossil Creek grapes and out of curiosity did a trial blend with fruit from all three vineyards. We found the resulting wine superior to the wines made separately from each vineyard.

Limestone soils and proximity to the Pacific provide ideal growing conditions for grenache blanc to thrive. The grapes were pressed as whole clusters, fermented, and then aged on the lees for six months. The wine has great concentration, bright acidity, and appealing minerality. This delightful wine is enjoyable now or can be aged for four to five years.
