Happy #InternationalGrenacheDay 🍷 We are prou Happy #InternationalGrenacheDay 🍷 We are proud of our 2019 Estate Grenache! This wine received 90 points from @wineenthusiast and 92 points by @sunsetmag International Wine Competition and Gold at the Sunset Wine Competition! A staple in the blends of the Southern Rhone and a fixture in most regions of Spain, where it is believed to have originated, Grenache is one of the most widely-planted varieties in the world. It thrives in warm climates and has found a happy home at Miraflores, perched high on our west-facing, well-drained hillside at 2,700 ft elevation. Ruby-garnet in color, with an intoxicating nose of snickerdoodle cookie and dried herbs of basil, oregano, and white pepper, this Grenache is soft, light bodied, and has a lovely finish of brambly raspberry. With its medium body and fresh acidity Grenache is the ultimate “food wine” and pairs well with a variety of dishes from braised beef and light curry dishes to macaroni & cheese or lentil soup. Try our Grenache this weekend during your tasting or order a bottle from our website! Visit MirafloresWinery.com to order your’s today! #MirafloresWinery

Savor the last bit of summer with a bottle of our Savor the last bit of summer with a bottle of our Rosé! Our award-winning Zinfandel vineyards are planted on well-drained decomposed-granite soils at an elevation of 2,200 ft in the Pleasant Valley area of El Dorado County. Head-trained and low yielding, they consistently produce wines with good structure and age-ability. For our latest vintage of our French-style Rose, we chose Zinfandel as these grapes were ripening the fastest our of all the vineyards. Showcasing a beautiful pale pink hue, this wine is as fresh and bright as a sunny spring day after a rainfall. Fresh strawberry and watermelon aromatics jump out of the glass and on the palate, it is refreshingly zippy and spritely, mingling with a sophisticated touch of dried thyme. Order a bottle of our 2022 Estate Rosé through our online portal at MirafloresWinery.com (link in bio) or in person in our tasting room! #MirafloresWinery
