The Wine Central Coast 40% Grenache Gris Loma Del Rio, 40% Grenache Blanc Beeswax, 10% Grenache Sweetwater, 10% Orange Muscat Pear Valley 10.5% Alc Grenache Blanc and Grenache Gris fruit, picked separately at low brix. Destemmed into rotary fermenters for 4-5 days of cold soaking the must on skins. Fermentation on skins in the rotary fermenter for gentle extraction, another 8-10 days, then pressed to stainless steel tank. Small amount of sulfur added before bottling.
Opens with a fragrant, fresh and bright bouquet of tangerine, citrus and flowers. Intriguing indeed. The first thing you notice when tasting is that the wine is more substantial in the mouth then you would expect with a wonderful smooth, textured mouthfeel. It features similar flavors to the nose but they are more rich and tart when tasting. It’s quite refreshing yet still has intriguing complexity.
It ends dry, long, and a bit grippy. This is a fascinating bottle as it has white wine like flavors but drinks more like a red wine. I love the lower alcohol % here as well.
