Madrona Barbera
The History
The Madrona wine all started by a pioneer who found an exceptional landscape that is divestible to the hillside vineyard, which was located in El Dorado, California in 1973. It was originally founded by the Senior Bush who wanted to create this unique
wine that has great acidity with perfect balance to create this comfort when drinking the wine. This authentic wine was discovered from a 350 year old Madrona tree, which represented the location to grow the best terroir of the Madrona vineyards. These
Madrona trees are found in the greatest growing regions through El Dorado, Sierra Foothills AVAs.

Tasting Note
Not only was the Barbera harvest plentiful in 2018, but the quality was equally exquisite. Rich, complex, lively and balanced, the
2018 has it all. It’s always careful planning of the picking that determines the style of Barbera, and we definitely wanted to retain
the fresh acidity this variety showcases. The aromas embrace the
high-tone fruit aspects of our mountain-grown Barbera with
wonderful pie-cherry, raspberry and red currant fruit. But there’s
also an orange-peel spice and hints of El Dorado earthiness in
the nose.
