A Tribute to Grace

Estate

Angela Osborne was born in Auckland, New Zealand, and settled in Santa Barbara in 2006 to make Grenache. The label takes its name from her grandmother Grace. Each bottling is a single-vineyard expression, the premise being that Grenache, planted on the right ground and left alone, is among the most site-revealing grapes there is.

Vineyards

Santa Barbara Highlands sits at roughly 3,200 feet in the Sierra Madre mountains, on decomposed granite and clay loam. Thompson Vineyard, at the other end of the county, grows on sandy loam over limestone. The same grape, entirely different wines. No winemaking intervention bridges the gap, the soil does the talking.

Sister Project

Land of Saints is a separate project Angela runs with her husband Jason and Manuel Cuevas. It works a broader range of varieties and sites at price points that reach by-the-glass and retail placement, but it stands on its own, not a downstream tier of Grace.
