| Summary | Barbera is a well-known Italian grape variety. Barbera d’Anunda takes its name from its home town appellation, Tanunda, in the Barossa Valley, and its un-canny similarities with Barbera d’Alba – the famous appellation for Barbera in the Piedmont, Italy. A play on words, but the variety is true to Australian Barbera character. We have only produced 100 cases of this wine and we have bottled it young and fresh – to enjoy its vibrancy and “drink now” qualities. |
| Vinification | Fruit has been sourced from the northern part of the Barossa Valley and was picked on the 11th April 2012. The wine was matured in 2 & 3 year old French Oak barriques for 9 months. No fining or filtration. |
| Colour | Bright garnet core with rim displaying vivid cherry hues. |
|---|---|
| Nose | Lifted floral notes and red berries. |
| Palate | Supple and elegant palate with fine tannins – a medium weighted drink. Vibrant and fresh with lots of bright red berries & Satsuma plums mixed with savoury notes of spice such as fennel and cardamom. |
| Notes | You can enjoy this wine chilled in hot weather. Cellaring 5-8 years. |
