From one of the first wineries in Australia to really push Italian varieties comes a Barbera that captures much of the grapey Barbera delight. Barberalicious.

Red lollies, redcurrants, plenty of acid and some light powdery tannins. It’s just a little warm and carries the syrupy texture seen in a few Vale 13s, but the juiciness is utterly authentic and quite delicious. A fraction more savouriness would be welcome, but love the grapy delight delight.

Would I buy it? Not quite. But I don’t think I’m a massive Barbera fan anyway. More Nebbiolo instead.
