Celebrate the first day of summer with Barbera 2019 Release.
A unique and very special grape variety in Idaho,
this Barbera will be the last vintage sold at Bitner Vineyards.
2019 BARBERA
Doc Ollie Block
300 Vines. No Mechanism. No Round-Up.

This Barbera was farmed by our dear friend and neighbor, Dr. Steve Ollie. Each vine cared for by Ollie, who genuinely loves the earth and beauty of Idaho. He aimed to harvest each grape as naturally and uniquely as the Sunnyslope region, backdropped by the untouched beauty of the Owyhee Mountains.

Barbera is a unique grape variety in Idaho that we are blessed to share with you. This Barbera showcases the terroir of the sun-drenched Snake River Valley. On the nose, you’ll find herbaceous and berry aromas. This fruit-forward expression has subtle and well-integrated flavors of raspberry, pomegranate, cinnamon, and a hint of vanilla. The finish lingers, leaving you with a deep sense of place — the bliss of Idaho’s high desert region.

Doc Ollie Barbera Vineyard Sold at Bitner Vineyards - Case Production
2019: 46 cases
2018: 79 cases
2017: No vintage
2016: 66 cases
2015: 22 cases
