San Benito County Barbera 2021 – Bold Red Wine from Margins Vineyards

Discover Margins’ 2021 Barbera—a vibrant expression of San Benito County’s terroir on California’s Central Coast. Crafted with meticulous care by passionate winemakers, this organic-style Barbera offers a refreshing alternative for lovers of natural wines.

Sourced from sustainably managed vineyards in San Benito County, this 100% Barbera is destemmed by hand before undergoing native fermentation on its skins for five days. The result? A wine that captures the grape’s authentic character without artificial interventions. Aged for nearly ten months in neutral oak barrels, it develops subtle spice notes while preserving its bright fruit profile—no fining, filtration, or additives beyond minimal sulfur dioxide before bottling ensures purity of flavor.

With 13% alcohol by volume, this medium-bodied red strikes a perfect balance between approachability and complexity. Expect lively cherry and raspberry notes lifted by zesty acidity—a refreshing choice for warm evenings or paired with bold dishes like herb-roasted vegetables or hearty pasta sauces.

Margins’ commitment to minimal intervention shines through every sip, making this Central Coast Barbera an excellent option for those seeking authentic, handcrafted wines with integrity. While availability may vary by region and vintage dates may differ slightly from images shown, each bottle reflects a dedication to showcasing California’s lesser-known appellations with elegance and transparency.
