2018 | Whitcraft Winery | Stolpman Vineyard Grenache

This is pale in colour with light red cherry colour. It’s somewhere between a rosé and a red, with a bit of crunchy tannin under the raspberry, redcurrant and red cherry fruit. Very supple and intriguing with a fine herbal edge to the sweet fruit. There’s amazing elegance and drinkability here with good acidity.

Reviews:

• Wine Enthusiast: Aromas of bay leaf, green peppercorn, raspberry and strawberry lead into a sip that's laden with herbs of thyme and marjoram. Cranberry, watermelon and grapefruit-rind flavors complete the zesty if atypical palate.

Producer Information

Chris and Kathleen (Barnato) Whitcraft started Whitcraft Winery in 1985. Chris hosted a local wine radio program in Santa Barbara County for more than ten years and learned his craft from some of the best winemakers in California - Joe Heitz (Heitz Cellars), Dick Graff (Founded Chalone Winery and its AVA), and Burt Williams (Williams Selyem & Morning Dew Ranch) to name a few. What began as a hobby grew into both a passion and a lifestyle, the commitment to which is present to this day in every bottle. This passion for wine was passed on to their children, Drake and Alyssa. While Chris passed in 2014, Drake continues to carry on the tradition of excellent winemaking, and the pioneering, natural wine spirit within the Whitcraft family. All of the reds and most of the whites are never fined, filtered or pumped and the smallest amount possible of sulfur is used. This requires a much larger effort than most other wineries are willing to do. No electricity is used unless absolutely required. This is to bring you - the end drinker, the purest rendition of the fruit possible.
