Ridge Grenache Blanc 2024
Descrizione
Le varietà bianche tradizionali del Rodano vengono reinterpretate con unica maestria nel Ridge Grenache Blanc, un omaggio enologico alla ricchezza del Mediterraneo dal cuore della California. Proveniente da vigneti piantati sui ripidi terreni calcarei di Paso Robles, questo bianco combina in modo delicato il Garnacha bianco con piccoli tocchi di Picpoul e Roussanne. La fermentazione e l’affinamento in una combinazione di acciaio, botti di rovere e anfore ne scolpiscono una texture elegante che non nasconde la sua intensa freschezza naturale. Suggestivo, avvolgente e da gustare sia subito che tra qualche anno, ti invita a scoprire il lato più solare e cristallino delle leggendarie Cantine statunitensi.

Aged in stainless steel, neutral oak, concrete, and amphora, this results in a remarkably bright, saline-driven example. This Paso Robles bottling comes from three different vineyards. Taut freshness, the limestone soils definitely play a role, says John Olney. Savoury herbals and plenty of mineral lift. Fresh citrus and smoky, flinty stone notes persist throughout the finish in this Rhône white, focused on the purity of fruit.
Aromas of honeysuckle, nuts, orchard fruit, lemon confit and fresh herbs, with a slight saline edge. The palate is mid-weighted and textural, with bright acidity and a strong core of fruit. It will only get better with time in the bottle. Made from 85% grenache blanc, 12% picpoul and 3% roussanne. Drink or hold.
With 12% Picpoul and 3% Roussanne, the 2024 Grenache Blanc spends eight months in five-year-old barrels, able to retain crisp acidity on the lengthy, textured palate, the grapes sourced from such great local sites as Adelaida, Fossil Creek, and Halter Ranch. Apricot shines bright amidst a floral jasmine character that's impressively inviting, balanced, and enduringly fresh. Drink now through 2030.
A beautiful nose of green orchard fruits, citrus blossoms and a flinty accent introduces the 2024 Grenache Blanc, which includes 12% Picpoul and 3% Roussanne. The palate is buoyant, focused and padded with a touch more textural breadth and depth than I've observed in recent vintages. It concludes with the snappy, tangy energy and mineral undercurrent that perennially characterizes this bottling.
Pear peel, tart orange and jicama aromas converge with a light waft of smoke on the noe of this bottling, which comes from three vineyards and includes 12% Picpoul and 3% Roussanne. The palate is broadly crafted with baked apple and smoked chicken flavors that are cut by an iron-like minerality
