While this vineyard is located on flat ground, the deep gravelly soil that underlies it adds both character and quality. Grenache is a varietal that needs to ripen to a high degree of sugar before the flavors are mature. It keeps its freshness for a very long time on the vine. This combination of high sugar and a high degree of fruit freshness are what make it unique. Grenache is one of the very last varietals we pick off the vineyard each year. It tends to have very large clusters, but this year high heat during the flowering limited the cluster size and the resulting yield of the vineyard. Winemaking Information Like all white wines at Tolosa great care is taken with the pressing of the wine. The goal of this operation is the extraction of as much juice and flavor as possible while leaving behind any color or harsh flavors. We typically make a light press and hard press fraction and ferment and age them separately until bottling. This wine was fermented in tanks as we wanted to preserve as much fresh fruit character as possible. The wine was kept on its yeast lees until just a few weeks prior to bottling. Analytical Information Alcohol:14.4% T.A.:6.83g/L pH:3.32 Brix at Harvest:24.3 100% Stainless Steel Fermentated and Aged Tasting Notes The color is pale platinum with a hint of green. The aroma is exuberant. There are tropical fruit notes, mainly of banana and a floral quality that tends towards violet. Besides these primary scents there are mineral tones of earth and flint. The wine’s flavors in the mouth follow with the soft fruitiness tempered by a fine mid-palate grip. There are underlying flavors of nutmeg and cinnamon.
