Prima Rosa

Yakima Valley Barbera

The Isenhower Prima Rosa wine showcases a vibrant red hue that captures the essence of Barbera grapes grown in the Yakima Valley region. This wine exudes a taste experience that is best described as medium-bodied, with a perfect balance of acidity that uplifts the prominent fruit intensity of the Barbera varietal. The tannins are notable yet approachable, adding structure to the wine without overpowering its luscious fruit-forward profile. The dryness of this wine complements its overall character, making it a delightful choice for those who appreciate a well-crafted red wine with an alluring personality.

Region:

Yakima Valley

Washington's Yakima Valley enjoys 300 days of sunshine per year, thanks to the shelter provided by the Cascade Mountains. And although it is dry here, it has the coolest climate in the Columbia Valley. With innovative irrigation and canopy techniques in the vineyards, Yakima Valley is home to nearly a third of Washington's wine production. Bright sunlight and crisp temperatures result in well-balanced wines with complex flavors and mouthwatering acidity. Fresh, creamy Chardonnay and surprisingly floral Rieslings are the main white wines here. There are also some impressively elegant red Bordeaux-style blends and peppery Syrah with a backbone of rich, dark fruit.
