Fabulous American - 90p

Back in 1861, following a successful gold mining adventure, James Skinner decided to invest in wine. Originally a Scotsman, he’d come to the land of opportunities, in search of a better life. James, his wife and their oldest son moved west from Massachusetts, when word of gold in California spread.
Full of gold he decided to set up at winery and plant vines on one of the main trading routes in  California. Thirsty gold diggers soon came for both wine and brandy, which they also made at the ranch. The winery grew and soon became on of the most important in the golden state. 

Today, some 161 years later, the Skinner Vineyards are still going strong, with a new generation keeping up the legacy. 
And you can really taste their proud heritage. Precision and top quality wines in a range of varieties. They focus on grapes and methods from the Rhône valley in France, and our pick is a white one. Their 100% Grenache Blanc is a true gem. Extremely elegant and tasty. Just a ridiculously well done wine in all areas. So delicious to enjoy on its own, but also a great match with a variety of dishes.

Tasting Notes

​Skinner El Dorado Grenache Blanc 2020 - 304kr

Light yellow. Very nice aromas of white flowers, oranges, sandalwood and white peaches. Fruit driven and elegant, with ripe citrus and white fleshed fruits. Very good minerality and well balanced acidity. Drinks excellent now and will cellar for another 10 years. 


With food
Great wine for most vegetarian dishes. Try it with grilled cod or halibut. Or pair it with light pork dishes.
