Folded Hills Whole Cluster Carbonic Santa Ynez Valley Grenache

With zesty aromas of spiced cranberry and fresh thyme, and a mouthwatering palate of mixed berries, red cherries, and savory herbs, the Folded Hills Cluster Grenache invokes the flavors of the season. The modest weight, and stimulating finish make this wine the perfect pairing alongside your holiday meals, or to satisfy your palate through the slightly cooler months of winter. Ruben’s careful farming of our estate Grenache provided a harvest of healthy fruit perfectly set on their clusters. Angela chose to respect his work by fermenting our Cluster Grenache using perfectly intact grape clusters. The approach is called whole cluster, or carbonic, fermentation, thus the name of the wine. The effect is zesty freshness and a wonderfully energetic palate, a wine full of presence while remaining relatively light bodied. Enjoy this satisfying wine on its own or with a meal.
