At EFESTĒ, our Estate Grenache is more than just a wine—it’s a tribute to the land, passion, and dedication that shape our winemaking philosophy. Cultivated at Angela’s Vineyard, our Estate Vineyard on the southwest slopes of Red Mountain, this wine encapsulates the distinct character of Washington’s most esteemed AVA. The unique terroir, characterized by its high elevation and rocky soils, allows us to produce a Grenache that is both elegantly refined and powerfully expressive.

Grenache is a varietal that demands careful attention and respect. It’s a grape that truly reflects its environment, bringing bright fruit and delicate spice to the forefront. However, finding a 100% Grenache wine is rare, as this varietal is often used in blends. We embrace the challenge and the opportunity to showcase Grenache in its purest form. By fermenting in concrete and aging in lightly toasted French oak, we aim to preserve the grape’s inherent qualities while adding layers of complexity that reflect Red Mountain’s unique terroir.

Every decision we make in the vineyard is guided by sustainability and a deep respect for the land. At Angela’s Vineyard, meticulous care is taken in every step—from strategic pruning to thoughtful canopy management. These practices ensure that our Grenache vines produce fruit of the highest quality, allowing us to create a wine that stands out for its purity and expression.

Our Estate Grenache is a wine that intrigues and delights the senses. It greets you with an aromatic bouquet of red berries and floral notes accented by a hint of spice. On the palate, enjoy a harmonious blend of ripe raspberry and strawberry, balanced with subtle earthy undertones and a touch of white pepper. This medium-bodied wine is characterized by its silky tannins, leading to a finish that lingers with notes of mocha.

Grenache invites you in with its lighter body, only to surprise you with its robust flavors and intricate layers. By choosing to craft a single-varietal Grenache, we’re making a statement—this is a wine that doesn’t need to be part of a blend to shine. Its rarity as a single-varietal offering makes it a standout in our collection and a true reflection of our winemaking philosophy.
