Queen of the Galaxy is 100% Barbera sourced from Contra Costa County, east of San Francisco Bay. The fruit comes from organically farmed vines grown in the region's signature deep, free-draining sandy soils, which force low yields and concentrate flavors without irrigation. Only 72 cases were produced in 2020.
In the cellar, fermentation was spontaneous using native yeast. A small addition of sulfites — 22ppm — was made after malolactic fermentation. The wine was bottled unfined and unfiltered, keeping it bright and lively in the glass.
The name is a direct nod to the 1968 cult sci-fi film Barbarella, marketed as Barbarella: Queen of the Galaxy, starring Jane Fonda — a fitting reference for a wine made from a grape whose very name echoes the title. The wine is fruit-forward, high in acidity, and low in tannin, staying true to Barbera's character in a California context.
