Clementine Carter
Clementine Carter produces wines from California's Central Coast, a region defined by its maritime influence and diverse microclimates. The winery focuses on Grenache in its various expressions: the West End Grenache, a dark-fruited wine with structure and depth; the Grenache Gris, which captures the lighter, more delicate side of the variety; and the Grenache Larner, another iteration of this classic Mediterranean grape. These wines have been assessed by major critics including Wine Enthusiast, Wine Advocate, Wine Spectator, and Decanter, reflecting serious engagement with the winery's approach to Grenache. The Central Coast's cool nights and warm days create conditions suited to this varietal, allowing for ripe fruit development while maintaining the acidity and elegance that define the best examples of the grape.
