Harvest Notes
Vineyard: Boushey Vineyard
Appellation: Yakima Valley
Varietal: 100% Grenache Blanc
Vineyard
Located at high elevation, the celebrated Boushey Vineyard produces wines of distinct character with balanced acidity. Layered soils and long, cool, slow ripening time allow for complex flavor development. 2011 was the first harvest using Boushey fruit for Syncline Winery. We are so impressed by the quality, delicious complexity and brilliant acidity, we plan to keep working with this vineyard for the long term.
Vinification
The fruit was hand harvested and transported to the winery in the early morning on September
18th. It was then whole cluster pressed and settled overnight. In the morning, the juice was racked
to a mix of: stainless tank, 500L Acacia puncheon, and 4 year aged light toast french oak Ermitage
“cigar”. Native fermented, blended and bottled in March 2016.
