2022 Grenache
Terra Bella Vineyard
Grenache (or Granacha) is known as one of the world's premier grapes, including bottlings coming from Châteauneuf-du-Pape in France or Priorat in Spain. This variety has proven to grow so well at our estate Terra Bella Vineyard that we felt compelled to craft this limited showcase.
About
Terra Bella Vineyard is located in the rugged coastal mountains of the Adelaida District and just 17 miles from the Pacific Ocean. Here, rocky calcareous soils, high elevations of 1,800 feet and coastal breezes combine to create perfect conditions for this classic Rhône.
The fruit was hand harvested at night and brought to the winery for gentle destemming and processed through the optical sorter. This wine was aged for 20 months in American and Hungarian oak barrels to cultivate added complexity and complementary vanilla notes.
