Hand-harvested from the acclaimed Demetria Estate Vineyard in Los Olivos, this Grenache reflects the distinctive character of the Santa Ynez Valley. Fermented with 10% whole cluster and native yeasts in stainless steel, then aged for 18 months in 100% neutral French oak — a combination of traditional 228L barriques and 600L demi-muids — preserving the wine’s purity while adding subtle texture and depth. Aromatics: Fresh raspberry, red currant, dried violets, and a touch of white pepper. Palate: Bright and focused, with notes of tart cherry, raspberry, and red currant, finishing with a hint of cinnamon spice. Limited Production: 250 cases.
