WINE MAKING PROCESS
The 2022 Grenache Blanc from A Tribute to Grace Wine Company begins with a gentle whole-cluster pressing. The resulting juice is settled and then racked into a combination of neutral barrique and stainless steel barrels for fermentation. Following fermentation, the wine undergoes an 11-month aging period on gross lees in the same vessels. This approach emphasizes purity and the expression of the vineyard's unique characteristics.
