Winemaker’s Background:

A Tribute to Grace was founded in 2007 by New Zealandborn winemaker Angela Osborne, who followed her dream of crafting Grenache in California. Inspired by her grandmother, Grace and her own reverence for elegance in wine, Angela has dedicated her label exclusively to Grenache in all its forms. Each wine is single-vineyard sourced to preserve authenticity and terroir, with Angelas philosophy rooted in minimal intervention and a commitment to capturing the natural beauty of the grape. The Thompson Vineyard provides a perfect balance of heat and light, allowing Grenache Blanc to achieve its full expression while maintaining poise and freshness.

The 2023 A Tribute to Grace Thompson Vineyard Grenache Blanc is a radiant example of Angela Osbornes vision, pure, soulful, and imbued with an elegance that lingers long after the last sip.
