Girasole Vineyards Releases 2010 Wine In A Bright New Package
Mendocino County wine producer, Girasole Vineyards, unveils two new vintages made from organically grown grapes that are aimed at the growing “value wines under $20″ market. The 2010 Pinot Noir and 2010 Chardonnay, in a new package, are hitting retail wine shelves this month.
Girasole Vineyards (pronounced jeer-uh-so-lay) wines feature distinctive, bright yellow sunflowers embossed on the label, and carry the California Certified Organic Farmers (CCOF) guarantee on the back label. Both wines are made from Estate-grown grapes farmed by the Barra family, growers of Mendocino County grapes since 1955.
“My family has been farming without the use of synthetic fertilizers or pesticides since the 1950s,” says Shelley Maly, Vice President of Sales Marketing at Barra Family Wines, and daughter of founders Charlie and Martha Barra. “With more consumers searching out quality wines with a certain provenance, cachet, and fair price, Girasole Vineyards wines can be enjoyed on many levels.”
“In addition to being produced from organically grown grapes, all Girasole Vineyards wines are vegan-friendly. No animal products are used in making the wine,” says Winemaker Jason Welch. “The 2010 Chardonnay ($13) features minimal oak influence and is perfect for pairing with many cuisines. It’s clean and crisp, with a gorgeous lemon-lime tropical fruit aroma and zesty Granny Smith apple flavors. It also comes in an easy-to-open screw cap closure.”
“Our 2010 Pinot Noir ($16) exhibits wonderful aromas of strawberry and clove, giving way to bright red cherry compote on the palate,” says Welch. “Both of these wines are an excellent addition to a dinner party or for sipping when hanging with friends.”
