Alex Krause and John Locke founded Birichino in Santa Cruz in 2008. Drawing on a combined four decades making wine in California, France, Italy, and beyond, they are focused on attaining the perfect balance of perfume, poise, and puckishness. Their preference is for minimal intervention, most often favouring native fermentations, employing stainless or neutral barrels, minimal racking and fining, and avoiding filtration altogether when possible. But most critically, their aim is to make delicious wines that give pleasure, revitalize, and revive.
Tasting Notes
Lively cherry and raspberry aromas with notes of allspice and liquorice. Ripe red fruits and forest fruit flavours on the palate balanced by a light acidity and chewy tannins.
Full bodied, spiced and rich.
