Grosgrain Rose

A solid new addition to the roster of Vine Arts exclusive wineries, Grosgrain Vineyards is one of the most exciting producers to come out of the Pacific Northwest. Owned by Matt and Kelly Austin, this small Walla Walla estate champions underdog grapes, sparkling wines, restrained reds and sustainable farming practices. The journey to create Grosgrain began in 2014 when Matt and Kelly left their previous careers in law and fashion to pursue winemaking. For Matt this meant going back to school to study enology and spending a few years working for several Washington wineries. Eventually they came across a 2 hectare vineyard that would become Grosgrain Vineyard. Matt and Kelly would eventually develop the vineyard to 32 hectares and would also acquire the 2 hectare Old Milton Vineyard. In addition to their own vineyards, Grosgrain works with some of the finest grape growers in the region to expand their reach.

"This is 100% Grenache, fermented and aged in concrete egg (65%) and stainless steel. So light in color it could pass for a white wine, the aromas are quite reserved, while the palate is medium bodied and flavorful." - 90 points, Wine Enthusiast
