Tasting Note

Producer

Based in Santa Cruz, Birichino was founded in 2008 by friends Alex Krause and John Locke. Alex and John met whilst working at Randall Grahm’s Bonny Doon Vineyard and share a passion for perfumed, elegant but slightly mischievous wines; in fact, Birichino is Italian for ‘mischievous’! The Birichino style is very much in the vein of ‘New Wave California’. The focus is on drinkability, fruit expression, eleganceand lower alcohol levels. Oak is rarelyseen, whole bunch is embraced, native yeasts are in and filtration is out.
