This wine comes from Rancho Boa Vista, a beautiful certified organic vineyard and olive orchard in Ballard Canyon. This vineyard is west facing on the south end of the Ballard Canyon AVA. Ever since my first vintage of Grenache Blanc, I've been after a warm expression of the variety. A site that is reminiscent of its Mediterranean origin. And we are back to warmth again! This wine’s label art will remind you that narrowleaf milkweed grows abundantly throughout the understory of this vineyard, making this a monarch friendly migratory corridor!

More Info

The Grenache Blanc was brought into the winery around 21 Brix. It was pressed directly without any skin maceration. The juice was sent to a tank to settle overnight, and then gravity racked to neutral French Oak barrels for fermentation with its native yeast. The wine rested on its fermentation lees until a month before bottling when it was racked together in a stainless steel tank. She was bottled unfined and unfiltered in July of 2024.

Tasting Notes

Delicate on the nose with a midpalate to fill you up. Floral and open with a bit of zip. Refreshing and very food friendly.

  • about the label

    Art: The monarch caterpillar on narrowleaf milkweed on the front paired with the metamorphosis on the back were both painted by my lovely mother, Eileen Anderson. The monarch imagery is meant to emphasize the importance of invertebrates and pollinators in our ecosystem. The monarchs made a huge population comeback in 2021 hence the new label art. This wine is a tribute to learning about the importance of native insects and their ecology. We encourage you to spread information about the importance of invertebrates, plant organic flowers for their benefit, and donate to invertebrate protection organizations if you are able to.
