VARIETY 96% Barbera, 4% Syrah
LOCATION Walnut Grove, Arizona
VINEYARD Hassayampa Vineyard and Farm
VINIFICATIONThe Barbera grapes were hand picked with the help of friends before being transported to Bodega Pierce in Clarkdale, Arizona for vinification. The whole cluster grapes were directly pressed upon arrival at the winery and fermented with native yeasts in a stainless steel tank and left to age for ~7 months on the and fine lees. Racked once before bottling with 5 gallons of Red Tree Ranch Syrah added to get some more color into the wine. Unfined, unfiltered with 20 PPM of added SO2 a week before bottling.
EXPRESSION Bright strawberry and rhubarb on the nose, with a warm dusty earthiness and standout minerality. Tastes balanced, juicy, and tart, like fresh-picked berries with a crisp, velvety finish. It’s vibrant yet chill, almost like sipping summer in a glass.
