The Clos de Luz “Azuda” Grenache is a small-production Chilean red poured by the bottle at Grappa in Seattle’s Queen Anne neighborhood. It comes from Clos de Luz in the Almahue Valley, a producer known for historic vineyards and a minimal-intervention philosophy. We pour it for guests who enjoy lighter, vibrant, food-friendly reds with character.
About the Winery
Clos de Luz farms some of the oldest vineyards in Chile in the Almahue Valley, working organically with a respect for the original character of the vines. The Azuda line explores Mediterranean varieties such as Grenache, grown on the estate’s highest, most mineral slopes and made with minimal intervention. This Grenache is a tiny bottling of roughly 2,700 bottles.
Region & Grape
The wine is Grenache from the Almahue Valley in Chile, planted on mineral-rich soils and farmed organically. Grapes are hand-harvested in whole bunches, fermented with indigenous yeast, and aged in old oak and clay, an approach designed to preserve purity, freshness, and finesse rather than overt oak.
Tasting Notes
Expect a light but vibrant red with fresh red fruit, bright acidity, and soft, fine tannins. The whole-bunch, native-yeast winemaking gives it lift and persistence. It is a dry, elegant, energetic wine.
