made up of 2 Piemonte clones, planted in 2010
Absolutely delicious wine. Blew the UC team away when we tasted - rich dark fruit and perfect freshness. Don't know an Australian Barbera anywhere near as good.

Description
"Our Barbera block is made up of 2 Piemonte clones (84 and 424), planted in 2010 on a slight North-facing slope consisting of shallow sandy-clay loam with iron stone and quartz. The vines are cane and spur pruned to diversify the picking time of each parcel. We harvest and vinify the two clones separately until final blending for bottle. Hand harvested, bunch sorted and vinified using traditional techniques. Pressed after 2 weeks, the wine is then matured in 1,500 litre Slavonian oak and seasoned French oak puncheons."
