Winemaker's Background:

A Tribute to Grace was founded in 2007 by New Zealand–born 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 Angela’s 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.

Serving Suggestions:

Serve chilled at 50–54 °F. This wine pairs beautifully with fresh seafood, grilled white fish, or herb-driven Mediterranean fare. Its brightness also makes it a versatile partner for goat cheese, spring vegetables, and light pasta dishes.

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