BAREFOOT® WINE INTRODUCES NEW CALIFORNIA RIESLING
Award-Winning California Wine Launches New Varietal in June 2009
MODESTO, CA (June 22, 2009) — To welcome the sunnier days of summer, Barefoot Wine is introducing a light-bodied, crisp Riesling to its fast-growing portfolio of award-winning California wines. In June 2009, this new offering will be available to tempt palates with its flavors of ripe apple and orange blossom and hints of lemon complementing its refreshing finish.
“We are proud to introduce Riesling as the newest addition to our family of wines,” said Jennifer Wall, Barefoot winemaker. “As with all our wines, we’ve stayed true to the varietal grape and created a wine that’s accessible and easy to enjoy.”
Barefoot Riesling is versatile enough to be sipped alone or paired with spicy Asian cuisine, salads topped with fruit or light desserts. And, at $7 a bottle, this fun, flavorful and affordable wine makes any time a “reason for Riesling.”
Barefoot’s award-winning California wines are attractively priced and can be found in bottles bearing the fun, iconic footprint label. Barefoot’s still wine portfolio ($7 for 750-ml bottles, $12 for 1.5-liter bottles) includes ten unique offerings: Pinot Grigio, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, White Zinfandel, Moscato, NEW Riesling, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz, and Zinfandel. Barefoot also offers five delicious sparkling wines: Barefoot Bubbly Brut Cuvée, Extra Dry, Pinot Grigio, Chardonnay and White Zinfandel. Barefoot Bubbly is the most awarded Sparkling Wine under $20 in the US and retails for $10. For more information about Barefoot Wine, visit www.barefootwine.com.
