WINE DESCRIPTION
Sans Liege Wines' "The Offering" is a compelling blend crafted in California's Central Coast, particularly known for its innovative approach to Rhône varietals. Winemaker Curt Schalchlin masterfully combines Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre, and Viognier to create a wine that speaks to the region's natural abundance and diversity. Sourced from select vineyards boasting sandy, loamy soils, the grapes benefit from the maritime influence, ensuring optimal ripeness. Employing both old-world and modern winemaking techniques, the wine undergoes careful aging in French oak barrels, crafting a profile that is both expressive and harmoniously integrated.

ORIGINS
Winery: Sans Liege Wines
Region: Central Coast California
The Central Coast of California is a wine lover's paradise, boasting a wide variety of climates, soils, and grape varieties. Located between San Francisco and Los Angeles, the Central Coast spans from Monterey County in the north to Santa Barbara County in the south. With its diverse topography and Mediterranean climate, the Central Coast is home to some of the most renowned wineries in the United States.
The Central Coast has a long and storied history of winemaking, dating back to the mid-1800s. The first vineyards were planted in the Santa Clara Valley, and by the late 1800s, the region was producing some of the finest wines in the country. The region's reputation for quality wines was further solidified in the early 1989, when the Santa Clara Valley was declared among the first American Viticultural Area (AVA) in the United States.CUSTOMER RATING
