Description
Founded in 2018 Kara Marie Wines was established by Kara Groom, who was trained and mentored by her winemaker father, Daryl Groom (whose wines we are proud to have previously featured in our wine club). After spending years ‘hemisphere hopping’ working multiple wine harvests, it was time to come home to Sonoma County. Upon her return, Kara began making wine under her own label. Crafted in a lively, fruit forward style, her Ra Ra Wine Co. wines are made with a low-intervention mindset with no oak influence—allowing the fruit to shine. In addition to Melon de Bourgogne, Kara also produces a dry Riesling, Rosé of Grenache, and a Pinot Noir Nouveau. She also produces a series of skin contact white wines and carbonic fermentations under her Little Ra Ra Ferments label.
100% Grenache sourced from the heart of Dry Creek Valley, grown by the Saini family. As fifth generation farmers, their passion for quality, coupled with their experience and familiarity with the land they farm, sets their fruit apart. The grapes were soaked on their skins to imbue a beautiful light pink hue, followed by a gentle whole cluster press. The juice was then fermented for two weeks at cool temperatures. After fermentation, the wine was stored in stainless steel until bottling to maintain the fresh and bright fruit aromas. Pale powder-pink in color, with a bouquet of fresh red berries and citrus zest. The palate exhibits flavors of white peach, strawberry and watermelon. Lightly textured with juicy acidity that makes it the perfect summer quencher.
180 cases produced.
