Grape Variety

Barbera

Producer

Hastwell & Lightfoot

In addition to growing mainstream grape varieties, Martin and Mark have always got a kick out of trying new things. Originally from Piedmont in northern Italy, the Barbera grape variety has adapted well to McLaren Vale. The 2017 shows some colour development with a rich savoury nose of earthy cured meats over a background of blackberries and coffee. It is supple and medium-bodied with bitter liquorice and chocolate on the finish.
