Because my visit was scheduled for July 6, just two weeks after bottling on June 22, I tasted the 2021 Grenache Distenta III as a precise blend from barrel. It comes mostly from the Eleven Confessions Vineyard (71%) and The Third Twin (23%) with the balance from the Cumulus Vineyard. It is a blend of 79% Grenache, 8.4% Syrah, 7.4% Mourvèdre, 3.2% Petite Sirah, 1.6% Petit Manseng and 0.4% Muscat. The Distenta III was vinified using about 35% whole Grenache clusters, and it matured in 42% new French oak of various sizes for around 23 months. It has a medium to deep ruby color and is incredibly fragrant at this stage. Wild berry jam aromas are accented by tones of wildflower, tar, tangerine and coffee beans. The full-bodied palate is concentrated yet lively, bursting with crunchy, floral fruit and surprisingly energetic acidity. It has detailed, grainy tannins and a long, lifted finish that wears its alcohol well. 1,459 cases and 600 magnums are projected, to be released in the spring of 2024.

Grenache (Garnacha)

Grenache — eller Garnacha, som druen hedder i Spanien — er en af verdens mest udbredte og alsidige rødvinsdruer. Den trives i varme, tørre områder og spiller hovedrollen i både Sydrhônens blends og de kraftfulde og mineralske vine fra Priorat i Spanien.

Druen er elsket for sin varme, rige røde frugt, ofte med noter af stewed strawberry, blomme, appelsinskal, tørrede urter og hvid peber. Den giver vine, der kan være både bløde og generøse i frugten, men også komplekse, krydrede og strukturerede — især i gamle vinmarker eller i lavtydende terroirs.

Grenache er samtidig en vigtig komponent i mousserende produktioner og rosé, særligt i Provence og Tavel, hvor dens lave farvepigment og aromatiske karakter skaber lyse, friske rosévine.

I Spanien — hvor druen sandsynligvis har sin oprindelse i Aragon — er Garnacha en nøglekomponent i robuste vine fra Priorat og i mange blends i Rioja.
Druens store charme ligger i dens kombination af frugtighed, krydderi, varme og alsidighed, og den bruges i alt fra letdrikkelige hverdagsvine til store, ikoniske vine som Châteauneuf‑du‑Pape.
