Domaine Ozil "Barry" Rouge 2023

"Barry" is a southern French red blend of Grenache (70%) and Syrah (30%), featuring an inviting bouquet of ripe black cherries, plums and hints of chocolate. On the palate, it is medium-bodied with flavors of dark fruits, soft tannins and a touch of spice. The wine has balanced acidity, leading to a smooth and satisfying finish.

Domaine Ozil is certified organic by Bureau Veritas and practicing biodynamic. The grapes are hand-harvested and direct-pressed into neutral oak barrels, where it sits briefly before being bottled unfined, unfiltered, and without added sulfites. 

Brothers Jean Daniel & Thomas Ozil are the fourth generation winemakers of Domaine Ozil. Located in Ardéche (in the Rhône Valley), they began producing natural wines in 2013. Prior to that, they used to sell their organically farmed grapes to the local coop but as of 2018, all of their harvest now goes to their own wines. The brothers also grow peaches, olives, vegetables, and lavender, adding to the biodiversity on their estate.
