2025 Rosé Of Barbera, North Coast
Aromas of peach, strawberry, lychee and lemon zest carry through to similar fruit flavors, where hints of rhubarb and minerality add complexity. Vibrant acidity and a rich mid-palate give way to a refreshing, dry finish.

Wine Profile
Vineyard Notes
The Barbera grown in the Las Lomas vineyard is planted on gently sloping volcanic soils at 1,560 feet elevation. The cool evenings and well-draining soil produce lovely grapes with balanced acidity and a backbone of minerality.

1st Bottling
Winemaker Notes
Clusters were destemmed and then held in the press overnight to extract the beautiful pink color of this wine. The wine was pressed to tank where it was hard settled for 48 hours before bring racked cleanly (under 50 NTU) off gross lees to another stainless steel tank for fermentation. VL1 yeast was used for fermentation to impart some floral and citrus notes. A month-long fermentation at 55°F preserved the bright aromatics.
Food Pairing Notes
Enjoy with oysters dressed in rhubarb mignonette or a smoked salmon rillette. Refreshing acidity enhances the oysters' briny character, while the fruit flavors provide a beautiful counterpoint to the savory, smoky richness of the salmon.
