Feels like Fourth Wave Wine jumped the shark here a little. These “The Bare Touch” wines are the “bleed off” free run juice from their Cowpunk Range. Okay. Made by the very talented Aaron Mercer and bottled in clear glass with minimal labelling. Intended to be consumed immediately.
The Bare Touch, Plump Bare, Grenache, Australia, 2023
Medium cerise to ruby. All raspberry and rose petals with some brown spice and jubes. Juicy and bright. Crunchy red fruit and just medium bodied. Varietally correct. Minimal tannin as you would expect, yet fermented to dryness and nicely balanced. Summer days luncheon red.
