Vinification Details: The grapes for Barefoot Jammy Red were harvested at optimum ripeness during cool night temperatures to preserve the fresh fruit flavours. The winemaker selected particularly aromatic yeast strains and employed a moderate fermentation process, which together have enhanced the natural flavours and expressive mouthfeel of this wine
History: The red grape harvest had a slow start due to a very cold winter & chilly spring which resulted in bud break coming about two weeks later than previous years. A mild spring resulted in slower growth and an extended bloom time. Harvest started in August and continued into November. The wine will be remembered for the extensive hang time that resulted in deep colour, nice flavour development, and concentrated fruit characteristics
Regional Information: The grapes for Barefoot Jammy Red were harvested from select vineyards in California’s Central Valley. This location, at the mouth of the Sacramento Delta, provides a unique geographical advantage for growing grapes. The climate here offers beautifully warm days and cool, breezy nights
