Vineyard/Vintage Notes:

Produced from the Wilderotter  vineyard in the Shenandoah Valley of Amador County.  Small yields of flavorful grapes were harvested early to produce a light, low alcohol European style dry Rose of Barbera.

Winemaker’s Notes:

Making this wine gave me a chance to produce a true European Rosé in a light, crisp and dry style like the wines we produced while I was working as an apprentice and going to winemaking school in Germany.  This wine is made in the German “Weiβherbst Kabinett” style.

Tasting Notes:

Good balance, light white pepper on the front palate with a fresh crisp finish.  Saskatoons, strawberry, rhubarb, Queen Ann cherry, elegant and delicate are all great descriptors for this light picnic Barbera Rosé.
