Whole berries went into an open fermenter with about 10% whole bunches. Basket pressed to seasoned 500L puncheons and blended in a concrete vat before bottling. New to the portfolio. Not your average tutti frutti Barbera here, in saying that fruit is optimal. Black Bing cherries, Acai and dried blueberries. Red toffee apple wrapped in black licorice. Allspice, nigella seed and dried Ancho chillis. Sage leaf, nettle and dried fig. Laden with dark, deep earthy spice, it’s an aromatic wonder. Puffs of lifted acidity and fine powdery tannins, this has the friendly Barbera style but with so much alluring perfume. A great addition and at such a great price tag. Drink now with rice, bean and mole sauce.

The 2022 Barbera is reductive and meaty on the nose, with blackberry jam and notions of pepper alongside. The palate is full of sweet fruit, but the tannins that clench the finish are firmer than I was expecting. Barbera is a thick-skinned, high-acid red variety, so structure and freshness are par for the course. If the reduction blows off (and it isn't budging currently), then this has the potential to be quite a delicious wine. I like the weight of the mid-palate. The fruit is from the Longview vineyard in the Adelaide Hills. 14.5% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.

Sourced from Longview, a pioneering site for this variety. Pulpy and floral, suggesting plenty of whole berries in the mix. Lilac, purple pastille, juniper, lavender and blueberry with a gentle brace of oak, reductive tension and punchy acidity driving versatility and modest length. Fun drinking. Drink now. Screw cap.

Sourced from Longview, a pioneering site for the variety. Pulpy and floral, suggesting plenty of whole berries in the mix. Lilac, purple pastille, juniper, lavender and blueberry with a gentle corset of oak, reductive tension and punchy acidity driving versatility and modest length. Fun drinking.
