Sel de la Terre, meaning "Salt of the Earth", was created in dedication to Mac's grandfather. This Westside Paso 100% Grenache is a combination of fruit from Paper Street and our own Estate Vineyards. This is the masculine counterpart to L’Ange Rouge.

Vinification:

10% whole cluster fermented in small, open-top bins and concrete tanks, and spending between 20-40 days on skins with pump-overs during cold soak and punch downs during fermentation. Aged 16 months in neutral 500-liter puncheons.

Tasting Notes:

Black raspberry, early season blueberries, mulberries, dragonfruit, melted licorice, mountain lilac, tea, roasted chicory, chalk dust. Generous fruit, opulent, and mouthwateringly juicy. Finishes in a crescendo of refreshing minerality, with a gamey note in the background.
