H&L | BARBERA | 2017

While we’ve been growing mainstream varieties for more than a quarter of a century, we get a kick out of working with new varieties like Barbera, Each comes with unique characteristics. For Barbera it is an inability to handle excessive heat, however 2016 proved a perfect summer enabling us to pick 6 tonnes of fruit showing ideal flavour / acid balance.
This wine delights with a gentle, soft yet full mouth-feel, carrying flavours of prunes and spices. The tannis are mild and the flavours linger on. A food match could be Osso Buco or Pasta Putanesca. Pour the Barbera and you will see it is –  A wine made for eating.
