Barefoot Fruitscato Pineapple 1.5L

Description

Tasting Notes and Characteristics:

Sunny and playful from the first sip, Barefoot Fruitscato Pineapple 1.5L bursts with ripe pineapple, candied citrus, and a splash of tropical mango over a juicy, Moscato-based sweetness that stays bright instead of cloying. Made in the United States, this fruit-forward wine blends gently sweet Moscato with pineapple flavors to amplify its floral, honeysuckle charm, finishing refreshingly with a zing of acidity. At 7.50% ABV, it’s an easygoing crowd-pleaser that chills beautifully and flatters bold, aromatic dishes. Pour it alongside Spicy Thai curry to cool the heat or set it next to Grilled shrimp to lift the smoky, briny edges with sunny fruit.

Producer Information: Barefoot Cellars

Barefoot Cellars began in Sonoma County in 1986 when Michael Houlihan and Bonnie Harvey revived the casual “barefoot” idea first tied to Davis Bynum’s Barefoot Bynum label, then scaled it into a California value brand later acquired by E. & J. Gallo in Modesto in 2005, sourcing largely from Central Valley vineyards to deliver consistent, fruit‑forward, slightly off‑dry wines made with cold stainless steel fermentation and broad, grocery‑friendly availability. The company’s philosophy centers on approachable styles, playful branding, and community campaigns like beach cleanups that tie the footprint logo to coastal causes, shaping a category reputation for easygoing, varietally labeled bottles suited to everyday drinking. Beyond its core still wines, Barefoot produces Barefoot Bubbly, Italian Prosecco, canned spritzers, wine‑based hard seltzers, and On Tap boxed formats, extending its California production focus into convenient, high‑volume options that meet national demand.
