2025 Barbera · McLaren Vale, South Australia
Vibrant and juicy with plush dark fruits. Black cherry, blackberries with hints of raspberries, the acidity is bright and the tannins are fine.
Description
Aromas of blood orange, black cherry and raspberry sit over an earthy core, with subtle notes of confectionery strawberry and cream. The palate is bone-dry and medium-bodied, driven by vibrant acidity and generous, chewy tannins. Cherry, clove and nutmeg lead into layers of tobacco and spice, while the finish lingers with bright cherry, confectionery fruit and a delicate sweetness of nectarine and blossom honey.

It’s a lip smacking juicy red with plenty of flavour. Approachable when young, it is a wine to be enjoyed any day of the week.
Barbera comes from Piedmonte, the north western region of Italy. Although, it is grown throughout the country and is their third most-planted red variety.
While Barbera first came to Australia in the 1960’s, it has only recently gained immense popularity. Barbera plantings in Australia are increasing as wine lovers' demand is on the rise for something different. This medium bodied wine has good acidity and gentle tannins.
