About the Wine
The Christy and Wise Vineyard, where this Grenache originates from, is a biodynamic vineyard. Biodynamic farming is a holistic approach that focuses on the health of the soil, plants, and animals, and it aims to create a self-sustaining ecosystem. This sustainable approach often results in wines that reflect the unique characteristics of the terroir. The blend of two clones, Alban and Garnacha, adds complexity to the wine. Each clone brings its own unique flavor profile and characteristics. The Garnacha clone, originating from Spain is known for its intense aromatics and rich fruit flavors, while the Alban clone adds depth and complexity to the blend. The grapes for this vintage was picked at 3 different times during harvest. This practice allows us to capture different ripeness levels and flavors, contributing to the overall complexity and layers of the blend. This wine was aged in neutral French oak barrels for 10 months.
Tasting Notes
The aromatics of this Gamay are a delightful blend of violet, cherry, raspberry, jalapeño, green beans, and earth. On the palate, it offers a light and refreshing experience with a harmonious mix of spice, raspberry, cherry, and earthy undertones. The finish is characterized by tart flavors of red fruits, vibrant acidity, and rounded tannins that leave you craving for another sip. Prepare to be captivated by the balanced and enticing flavors of this wine.
Pairing Notes
This Gamay is the perfect companion for dishes with a Mexican flair, such as salmon fajitas or veggie tacos. Its delicate nature allows it to beautifully compliment grilled fish, without overpowering its lightness.

Indulge in the vibrant flavors and refreshing character of this wine as it enhances your dining experience.
