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.
