There’s something about Birdhorse Wines that just keeps us coming back for more. We can almost feel winemakers Katie Rouse and Corrine Rich’s intention-setting ritual each year.
Winemakers: Corinne Rich & Katie Rouse
Farming: Sustainable, Organic
Varieties: 100% Barbera
Terroir: Shake Ridge Ranch is an example of everything we believe farming should be: thoughtful observation rooted in experience and a deep scientific knowledge of soils and vines producing exceptional fruit. The quartz-rich, red soils of this special place produce ethereal wines with distinctive, dense structure.
Aging: Neutral French Oak
Tasting Notes: Luxardo cherry, dried lavender, rhubarb, and warm stones. A palate that is bright but earthy, with lively acidity and cobblestone tannins for a round, long finish. This wine brings a packet of seeds to the first date instead of flowers. Which is to say, it's here to make you think, and it's here to play the long game.
