Barry Family Cellars Four Track Demo Red Blend 2024

The Barry Family Cellars Four Track Demo Red Blend 2024 is a light-bodied, experimental red wine from the Finger Lakes region, designed by winemaker Ian Barry to be a "perfect bistro red."

The wine is a co-ferment of four grapes, which is where the name "Four Track Demo" comes from, reflecting its experimental and lively nature. The exact blend for the 2024 vintage is often cited as a combination of Blaufränkisch, Chardonnay, Cabernet Franc, and Cabernet Sauvignon, though the varietal mix can change slightly each year.

The winemaking follows a low-intervention approach, using spontaneous fermentation with ambient wild yeast. It is typically bottled unfined and unfiltered, resulting in a fresh, fruity, and very drinkable wine with a lighter body and a pleasant savory and fruity balance.
