Prelude

2014 Paso Robles Viognier Grenache Blanc

Ecluse Prelude is a delightful white wine that masterfully blends the richness of Viognier with the refreshing character of Grenache Blanc. This 2014 vintage hails from the renowned Paso Robles region, known for its sunny days and cool evenings that allow the grapes to develop optimal flavor profiles. The wine presents a lovely golden hue, with aromas of stone fruit, honeysuckle, and hints of citrus zest that entice the senses. On the palate, it offers a full-bodied mouthfeel that is beautifully balanced by a vibrant acidity, providing a refreshing lift. The fruit intensity is prominent, showcasing ripe peaches and apricots, while the finish remains dry and crisp, making it an excellent companion for seafood, light salads, or simply enjoyed on its own. Ecluse Prelude is a wonderful representation of the unique terroir of Paso Robles, capturing the essence of its climate and the artistry of winemaking.

Paso Robles

California's fastest-growing wine region is quickly gaining an international reputation for its innovative and boundary-breaking wines. Located halfway between LA and San Francisco, the Paso Robles AVA in San Luis Obispo County has two main zones. The eastern side has a hot and sunny climate with deep, rich soils producing plush, fruity wines with sweet ripe flavors. To the west, the cooling influence of the Pacific brings a zingy backbone to rich Zinfandel and Rhône favorites like Syrah and Viognier. Italian varietals like Sangiovese and Nebbiolo are also favorites of Paso Robles grape growers and wine drinkers.
