The 2026 Ochota Barrels Texture Like Sun is a vibrant, unconventional red blend from South Australia, continuing one of Ochota Barrels’ most distinctive styles. Made from a changing mix of red and white grape varieties, it offers bright raspberry, strawberry and red cherry alongside floral notes, fresh herbs, white pepper and subtle earthy spice.
On the palate, it is light and energetic with juicy red fruit, lively acidity and fine, supple tannins. Texture Like Sun is created by bringing together small parcels from different Ochota Barrels ferments, resulting in a fresh, aromatic and lightly structured red where the exact blend changes with each vintage.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for customers who enjoy lighter, unconventional reds with juicy fruit, fresh acidity and savoury complexity. Best enjoyed young and can be served lightly chilled. Ideal with charcuterie, grilled chicken, pizza, mushroom dishes, antipasto or roast pork.
