Introducing the inaugural mixed roots wine collection
Vinted and Bottled by Winefornia
Rooted in multiculturalism, the Mixed Roots® journey started in 1995 as a high school cultural diversity group which still exists today and has now evolved and expanded nationally to Mixed Roots Foundation that includes raising awareness and funds for the global multicultural adoption and foster care community. The fundamental roots of Identity, Diversity, but most importantly Unity is what Mixed Roots® is all about.
10% of all sales of Mixed Roots Wine will benefit Mixed Roots Foundation.
The 2020 Mixed Roots White Cuvée, a blend of Chenin Blanc and Viognier, displays wonderful and slightly exotic aromas of white peach, lychee, ripe Anjou pear, lemon balm and jasmine blossom. Just rich enough, there is a compelling textural interplay between the rounder Viognier and the steely Chenin, creating suspense and tension between delicate flavors of orange marmalade, salted lime, kumquat and quince jam. The wine strikes a deft balance that achieves a near-universal compatibility with any setting or food.
A crystalline, and delicate light-peach in color, The Mixed Roots “Lineage” Sparkling Rosé is a special unique blend of Chardonnay and Cabernet with a lineage vintage from 2007 to 2019 that opens on the nose with brioche, sliced nectarines, and sea spray, followed by hints of kiwifruit, green strawberry and honey graham cracker. Initially broad and creamy in texture, a mineral-inflected mouth-watering acidity gently builds length and structure for fascinating flavors of angel food cake, chamomile tea, miso paste and honey.

On the nose, the 2020 Mixed Roots Red Cuvée blends Syrah, Merlot, Cabernet and Pinot Noir displaying a gorgeous mix of bright red cherries, strawberries, and spiced orange peel, with hints of incense and cedar. Fine and silky in texture, flavors of hibiscus and English breakfast tea are first to arrive, with a hint of cherry filling and warm, light oak follow. A gentle thread of acid lifts in from the mid-palate to the finish, blended invisibly with fruit and just a touch of lithe, silty tannin all the way to the end.
