Chambourcin is grown on site at Barrel Oak as well as sourced from local growers in 2022. The grape is harvested early enough to bring out light fruity flavors, while still retaining good acidity for a well-balanced, clean, easy drinking wine. The result is a red built for approachability, not complexity.
Aged for 8 months in neutral French and American oak, providing gentle structure and a smooth finish without heavy oak flavors. The Chambourcin is harvested early to preserve light, fruity character and natural acidity. The finished wine carries 1.45% residual sugar, giving it a touch of sweetness that rounds out the palate.
