2024 Valley Gris
Tasting notes
In the heart of the Santa Ynez Valley, where rolling hills and sun-drenched vineyards stretch as far as the eye can see, this unique blend was born. A 50/50 blend of Grenache Gris and Grenache Blanc, each variety lends its character to create a luscious, vibrant wine. Delightful for casual sipping, this wine greets the palate with a burst of juicy brightness and lively notes of honeydew melon and tangerine.

A skin contact wine, the 2024 ‘Valley Gris’ combines Grenache Gris and Grenache Blanc. This comes up is rich and viscous on the tongue. Walnut and shades of Japanese pear fill the palate alongside very delicate red fruits. Dense and polished, with a strong salinity, enjoy now and over the next few years.
