VARIETY Grenache Noir
LOCATION Verde Valley AVA
VINEYARD House Mountain at DA Ranch
VINIFICATION The Grenache grapes were hand picked with the help of friends and transported to Bodega Pierce in Clarkdale, Arizona for vinification. 4/5 the grapes were destemmed, the rest were left whole cluster and fermented with native yeasts on the skins/stems for 9 days with several punch downs a day before being pressed off at dryness into four neutral oak barrels. The wine was aged sur lie for 9 months with no bâtonnage. Racked once before bottling. Unfined, unfiltered with 20 PPM of added SO2 (10 PPM when the grapes arrived at the winery, 10PPM a week before bottling).
EXPRESSION Somewhere between a light red and a rosé, this Grenache from Da Ranch pours a vivid ruby-pink and leads with an armful of ripe strawberries, watermelon candy, and crushed raspberries. The palate is juicy and unguarded — pure fruit energy with a soft, easy texture that makes the glass disappear. A thread of dried lavender and warm garrigue lingers just long enough to remind you this is grown somewhere special. Pour it slightly chilled and share it freely.
