Tribute to Grace grenache (Santa Barbera, California)

7/18/2013

Winemaker Angela Osborne has a love affair with grenache- and I have to admit it is pretty infectious!

Angela is a sweetheart who dedicates these wines to her grandmother (her name was Grace). She's from New Zealand where grenache has a difficult time growing in most of the regions. After a long search to find a place to grow her favorite grape, she ended up in California.

What makes her wines so special? She grows grenache in biodynamic vineyards in California. She ferments the wines using partial carbonic, so the grenache is very light, and has a texture and body that would remind you of a rich pinot noir. These are some of the most delicate expressions of grenache that I have ever tried, and the aromatic complexity is ever-unfolding!
