VIVIO VINEYARD

A wine that is bright yet dry and rich with flavors of honey, pears and flowers, Roussanne was originally grown in the

southern Rhone region of France. This is a complex grape that is difficult to grow in many climates, but we found the ideal site

at the Vivio Vineyard in Bennett Valley. This 18-acre slope focuses on just Syrah and Roussanne and benefits from the hot

days of the valley and cool nights of the Sonoma Coast for consistent ripening of the clusters. This is a true Red Car original

and one of our most unique annual bottlings.

TASTE

Honeycomb, herbal tea, lilac, Asian pear

PHILOSOPHY

Red Car produces site-specific wines, focused on achieving

bright acidity and lively aromatics. Sustainability is at the core

of why we exist. We operate each part of the business from the

belief that less is more. We are stewards of the land and of the

people who consume our wine to ensure harmony with the

Earth. We farm organically to protect the soil and our

consumers from artificial chemical intervention. At each

harvest, this philosophy makes its way into the cellar where we

allow our wines to purely express each vineyard’s unique

character. We achieve this by using native yeast fermentation

and minimal intervention practices.
