WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for Barry's Block by Vickery focuses on capturing the essence of the old-vine Riesling from Eden Valley. Grapes are carefully harvested at optimal ripeness. Fermentation occurs in stainless steel tanks at controlled, cool temperatures to preserve the varietal's aromatic profile and crisp acidity. The wine is typically aged in stainless steel to maintain its freshness and purity, with an emphasis on allowing the wine to develop its inherent aging potential. The approach prioritizes minimal intervention to let the vineyard and the grape speak for themselves.
