Ochota Barrels, Texture Like Sun Sector Red, 2023
is backordered and will ship as soon as it is back in stock.
A longtime staple of the Ochota Barrels lineup, “Texture Like Sun” is a blend that changes slightly each year—but always stays true to its name. The 2023 version is a field blend of organically farmed fruit (often including Grenache, Gamay, Pinot Noir, Mourvèdre, and Syrah, among others), fermented naturally and bottled unfiltered with a minimal sulfur touch.
It’s juicy, bright, and feather-light—built more on aromatics and acid than tannin or weight. Think red currant, tomato leaf, and crushed herbs, wrapped in a slightly savory frame. There’s lift, tension, and a sense of freedom that defines the Ochota style, even in a wine that goes down as easily as this one.
Best served chilled and poured generously—ideal for warm afternoons, rooftop hangs, or pairing with dishes that don’t take themselves too seriously. For fans of glou-glou with depth, or those who want a natural wine that’s joyful but never sloppy, Texture Like Sun 2023 hits all the right notes.
