Only 200-250 dozen bottles are produced each year from Nebbiolo and Barbera grapes planted on south-east facing slopes. The vineyard, on clay and tufa stone soils, is farmed organically, but along traditional lines. The grapes are crushed and then macerated on skins for 3-4 days in temperature-controlled rotary fermenters before fermentation using indigenous yeasts.

The palate typically shows fresh red fruits, balanced tannins and attractive acidity boosted by the Barbera component.

This is our first release of Barbera from TarraWarra Estate. We chose this variety for its inherent structure and intense flavour. It is ideally suited to the Yarra Valley, and we are very excited by this first release. The variety is thriving in its location, yielding a wine that is full flavoured, rich and long.

Our dolcetto shiraz is a racy wine with sweet fruit, bright and lively with long acid finish, and light but firm tannins. This will give your salami and cheese platter, a fine run for its money.
