Jim Clendenen was famous for producing internationally acclaimed Pinot Noir & Chardonnay in California. Amongst the region’s top producers, the wines he started producing in 1982 set the standard for modern, terroir-driven Californian wine from Burgundian grapes. Wines under the Clendenden Family Vineyards label are not just another label – this was a project of passion for Jim. These are artisan, nuanced wines from small lots producing distinctive wines that have had the luxury to be in the barrel as long as they need it. Long-lived, food-friendly, with firm acidity and moderate alcohol, they are really special parts of Jim’s story that we are honoured to import and represent in the UK.
Rancho La Cuna is the vineyard situated at Jim’s ranch and his home. It is a small vineyard (about 15 acres) with vines situated on steep hillsides. This vineyard is planted to “cool” cutting edge, such as Grenache Gris originated from South of France. A varietal that produces easy-drinking, food-friendly dry white wine.
Pale yellow in colour in the glass. The Clendenen Family Vineyards Grenache Gris is aromatic with citrus, melon, apricot, peach and fresh pine notes. You will find pear, grapefruit and apricot on the palate with a smooth and unique spicy mouthfeel. This medium-bodied wine has a crisp acidity and a long finish. A very food-friendly wine that can easily go with a wide range of dishes from salad to roasted chicken.
If you have never tried a California expression of Grenache, this is the one to try!
