Emanuel Tres is a new project from Chris Keller, formerly of Paige 23 winery.

Producer notes: "2009 Emanuel Tres 'Blanco' is a blend in the style of Catalunya, featuring wines made from grapes from Santa Barbara Highlands Vineyard in the Cuyuma Valley of eastern Santa Barbara County. The hot, arid conditions during daytime hours and the cool, breezy nights combine for intense fruit components balanced with terrific acidity providing structure and crispness on the palate. Fermented in stainless steel and made with no secondary fermentation, this wine jumps out of the glass with fresh minerality, exotic aromatics and depth of fruit. Young and vibrant, this wine is drinking very well now, and will have tremendous aging potential due to natural acidic structure and balance. 80% Grenache Blanc, 10% Viognier, 10% Roussanne. 200 cases produced."
