Railsback Freres Description
the RAILSBACK FRÈRES2020 Grenache Noir “Cuvée Spéciale”
Story
Inspired by the ancien régime of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, our work with
Grenache Noir seeks to reveal vitality and fine floral aromatics. Grown in
two organic farms in Los Alamos that enjoy a strong marine influence, both
giving Grenache with freshness. The inclusion of whole clusters in this
vintage made for some bright and crunchy flavors. Grenache in this style is
a great pairing for plant-based soupe au pistou, but if you’re feeling more
decadent this is one of our favorite pairings for lamb sausages or burgers off
the grill.
The drawing on our label is a reference to El Licentiate Vidriera, the
1613 short story by Miguel de Cervantes where Guarnacha (Grenache) first
appears in print. In Cervantes’ story, a quince fruit is laced with an intended
love potion for the titular character. The vine plantings we found at the
Shokrian and Nolan Ranches also made us fall in love with Grenache.
