2023 Bethel Rd. Grenache Blanc
Bright, textured, and complex, this Grenache Blanc is a stunning expression of the Templeton Gap. From the organically grown grapes of the Whale Rock Vineyard, this wine is meticulously crafted using whole-cluster pressing and is 100% fermented and aged in concrete Dolia. This technique enhances the wine’s elegance, preserving its vibrant minerality and aromatics. The nose is filled with inviting notes of key lime, honeysuckle, and wet stone. On the palate, a zesty and bright acidity accentuates a core of kiwi, grapefruit, and lychee flavors, leading to a clean, refreshing finish.
With a limited production of only 170 cases, this is a truly special wine. Its balanced profile, with an ABV of 13.5% and a crisp total acidity of 0.59 g/100ml, makes it exceptionally food-friendly. While it pairs beautifully with classic dishes like herb-rubbed chicken or a pork chop served with apple chutney, its complexity also allows it to stand up to more richly spiced fare. This Grenache Blanc is a distinctive and memorable white wine, perfect for showcasing the unique terroir of Paso Robles.
