Kale Wines – “Somerston Vineyard” Grenache Blanc

The History

The 1,615 acre Somerston Estate is located 10 miles east of the Silverado Trail, high in the eastern hills of the Napa Valley. The owner, Allan Chapman, and General Manager, Craig Becker, are committed to sustainable practices which are reflected throughout the property. The Grenache Blanc comes from Priest Ranch Block 6 at 1,250 feet elevation. It is important to note the scarcity of this varietal in California, and specifically the Napa Valley. With less than 30 tons harvested annually in the Napa Valley, we are fortunate to produce our inaugural Southern Rhône inspired white wine from this amazing property

The grape

100% Grenache Blanc

Tasting note

Kaffir lime blossom, white peach and fresh-cut pineapple aromatics. Crushed gravel minerality frame the mid-palate. Brisk acidity comes off as zesty citrus. Comice pear, citron and herbal nuance through the finish. This wine will develop natural tartrate crystals through aging
