Grenache Blanc, 'Catie's Corner'

The forth most widely planted white grape in France, it is still relatively scarce in the US. Genetically identical to the red version of Grenache, it is like Pinot Blanc and Pinot Gris, considered a pigment phenotype of the better-known red version. A unique grape made with a unique method. Fermented and aged on the lees for 2 years in neutral French Oak barrels before bottling. From Catie’s Corner vineyard in Windsor, this vineyard promotes the beautiful aromatics in Grenache Blanc with hints of pear on the nose.
