Tasting Notes:Bright and juicy with notes of cherry and cranberry. A bold ros-meets-light-red, vibrant with zippy acidity perfect served chilled.
THE STORY: Barbera grows at the highest point of Fox Hill, in a block we call the Terrace. Itgets lots of afternoon sun and exposure. The vines are older head pruned and grow in thesteepest sloped and iron rich clay-like soil that has a red hue. The wine is mostly Barbera roswith a little Nero ros that we blended in to balance out the body with its fruit since theBarbera has very bright acidity.We food tread the grapes and left the juice on the skins for 24 hours so the Barbera couldbleed out its beautiful color. Nero had the same skin contact, and we added it in because of itsdelicious cherry flavor. Gently pressed to stainless tank to naturally ferment, then aged for 8months. This wine walks the line of a dark ros and a light chillable red. Chill it down and drinkup!
FUN FACT: OSunshine is a term used metaphorically to describe something joyful or bright.
