Details and technical informations about Tagaris Winery's Michael's Vineyard Barbera.
Discover the grape variety: Crouchen
Fresh and barely aromatic dry whites with a pale golden robe, a supple palate and preserved acidity, with discreet aromas of white flowers, citrus (lemon) and herbal notes. A rustic thirst-quenching profile to drink young. Now rare in France, still grown in South Africa (Crouchen Blanc) and Australia (mistakenly called Clare Riesling), producing simple whites. Native French white grape from the Pyrenees, once grown in Béarn and the South-West.

2nd US producer by volume, on the arid, sunny Columbia Valley. Star Cabernet Sauvignon (~60% of reds): powerful and structured with signature notes of blackcurrant, blackberry, cedar, dry herbs and graphite, firm tannins. Fleshy, peppery Syrah (black fruits, smoked meat). Round, fruity Merlot, historic mineral Riesling (dry and off-dry), precise Chardonnay and ample Sémillon.
The word of the wine: Destemming
Action consisting in separating the grapes from the stalk before vinification. The stalk, the woody part of the bunch, may give the wine an unpleasant vegetal character.
