Rick and Amy Barr have worked in heart research for more than 20 years at the University of Alberta. They use their scientific training to create fruit wines of impeccable quality. Barr Estate Winery produces two very fine fruit wines:
The Other Red™ (raspberry) made from hand picked raspberries grown right on their family farm. This medium bodied wine has a nice balance of acidity and is a refreshing, off dry wine with complex aromas and ripe summer fruit flavours and is best served cool. Pairings include duck breast, roast pork, white chocolate, mango and milk chocolate.
The Barb™ (rhubarb) uses only red rhubarb which creates a beautiful pale coral wine. This wine has flavours of citrus, honey nectar, flowers and much more. It is a medium bodied wine that has a good balance of acidity and a long finish. There is a lot going on with this off dry wine and it is best served chilled. Pairings include cold meats, Thai noodles and milk chocolate. Both wines also taste great on their own.
