Let's now check out how Barefoot's scintillating red wines are produced:

How Is Barefoot Red Wine Made?

The red grapes are harvested based on fruit ripeness — sugar level increases with ripeness.

When the red grapes are ripe enough, they're picked using machines at night. The reason for harvesting grapes in the middle of the night is simple: the grapes are cool and firm at night, ensuring that they stay intact during transportation.

The harvested red grapes are then transported to the Barefoot winery (owned by the Gallo family), where they're mechanically pressed into juice.

Later, the grape juice (with the skins) undergoes fermentation. Once the fermentation is complete, the Barefoot red wines are pressed, blended, and bottled.
