2025 Ochota Barrels Texture Like Sun Sector 12

If there’s one wine that captures Ochota’s free-spirited side, it’s Texture Like Sun. Every year the blend shifts - this time it’s a mash-up of Pinot, Grenache, Gewürztraminer, Gamay and Pinot Meunier – but the result is always the same: utterly drinkable, impossible to pigeonhole.

Sector 12 hums with juicy red fruits, a flicker of spice, a little herbal twist, and just enough tannin to keep things in shape. Gamay and Grenache bring brightness and bounce, Pinot adds finesse, Gewürz sneaks in perfume, and Meunier rounds it all out. The name says it all - this is about feel as much as flavour, with supple fruit and gentle grip that make each glass glide down a little too easily.

It’s not a wine that follows rules. It’s one that makes its own - playful, vibrant, and seriously fun to drink whether it’s on a picnic rug or poured at a white-tablecloth restaurant. The yellow label is a beacon; the wine inside pure sunshine.

As Amber Ochota says: “Juicy and vibrant, perfect for anywhere and everywhere.”
