Grenache Blanc

Our Grenache Blanc is our spring and summer white wine. It is intended to be light, bright, and refreshing, and to pair with sunny days and your favorite summer dishes. Fermented in a stainless steel tank, we block malolactic fermentation to retain the bright & fresh acidity. This wine will pair wonderfully with white fish, calamari, or an alfredo sauce.

2023 Vintage:

International Wine Report: 92 pts

Fermented in stainless steel without malo-lactic fermentation, this 2023 Grenache Blanc is lively and bright. The palate bursts with flavors of crisp green melon, tangy pink grapefruit, and zesty lime. A subtle crushed stone minerality adds depth, while the smooth, supple finish rounds out this refreshing, nervy wine. Only 57 cases produced. — Jeremy Young

Wine Enthusiast: 91 pts

This Oregon-based winery is quite skilled at paying homage to the Rhône. Ocelli's Grenache Blanc opens with really rich, hunger pang-inducing marzipan and peach jam aromas. A lightning bolt of acidity then revs up tart pineapple, saline and white tea flavors. Grab a baguette and some Beaufort cheese to pair with this gem. — Michael Alberty

Owen Bargreen: 91 pts

This 2023 Grenache Blanc is vibrant and nervy with kiwi and white grapefruit zest flavor on the palate alongside copious minerals. Drink 2024-2028 — Owen Bargreen

Northwest Wine Report: 90 pts, Critic’s Choice

This wine was fermented in stainless steel with no malolactic fermentation. It has a light copper color. The aromas bring notes of strawberry, herb, and cherry. Medium-bodied, textured, bone-dry flavors follow. There’s pleasing tension and richness. — Sean Sullivan
