Tablas Creek Grenache 75cl
Our partnership with the Haas family at Tablas Creek celebrates the foundational grapes of the Southern Rhône Valley, with Grenache taking absolute center stage. While the vast majority of our estate Grenache is dedicated to our signature flagship blends, this special bottling allows the grape to shine entirely on its own. It represents a beautiful convergence of history and terroir, grown from the legendary vine cuttings brought over directly from our family's home at Château de Beaucastel.
Grown on the certified organic and biodynamic limestone hills of Paso Robles, Tablas Creek Grenache captures the perfect harmony of California’s radiant sunshine and traditional French elegance. By letting the grape express itself naturally, Tablas Creek delivers a red wine defined by its remarkable vibrancy, bright energy, and effortless balance.
This pure expression makes it a welcoming and highly versatile bottle. Delightfully approachable yet structurally sophisticated, it is an incredibly food-friendly wine that pairs beautifully with a wide variety of dishes or shines all on its own as an elegant pour for your next gathering.

Regional Information
Regional InformationTablas Creek Vineyard
Founded in 1989 as a partnership between the Perrin family of Château de Beaucastel and the Haas family of Vineyard Brands, Tablas Creek represents a unique transplant: Rhône heritage, planted on Californian soil.
Recognising the exceptional limestone-rich soils and Mediterranean‑influenced climate of Paso Robles, the partners selected a 120‑acre parcel in the Adelaida District, about 12 miles from the Pacific Ocean. The estate sits at roughly 1,500 feet elevation on shallow, rocky soils of the same geologic origin as those at Beaucastel, a terroir remarkably similar to the southern Rhône.
To preserve the authenticity and genetic integrity of their Rhône varieties, Tablas Creek imported vine cuttings directly from Château de Beaucastel. These cuttings were quarantined under a USDA‑mandated program (beginning January 1990) to ensure they were virus‑free, then propagated in an on‑site nursery. The first grafted vines became available in 1993 and planting across the estate began in 1994.
That careful origin means every vine at Tablas Creek today carries the same heritage as those in the historic vines of Châteauneuf‑du‑Pape, allowing the winery, and by extension wines such as Esprit de Tablas Blanc, to reflect both Rhône tradition and Californian terroir in harmony.
Paso Robles
The Paso Robles wine region, particularly the Adelaida District, offers a climate and soil profile that make it an ideal New World counterpart to the old Rhône Valley: hot, sunny days moderated by cool coastal breezes at night, enabling grapes to ripen fully while retaining freshness and acidity.
Its limestone‑rich, rocky soils, deeply similar to those at Château de Beaucastel, give wines from Paso Robles a distinctive mineral backbone and terroir-driven character, helping to produce wines of elegance, depth, and balance.
The result is a region well suited to traditional Rhône varieties, now flourishing thanks to the pioneering work of Tablas Creek, a bridge between Old World heritage and New World expression.
