Tasting Notes
This is our first Barbera release from the Longview vineyard in Macclesfield, SA. 13 day maceration and basket pressed to old French oak. Vibrant purple in the glass, tightly wound, blackberries, cherries with hints of vanilla. Beautifully plush on the palate with gentle tannins and fantastic acidity as is common with the variety. - Distributor Note
Architect by day, winemaker by night, David Caporaletti is calculated and precise as much as he is rogue and experimental in his winemaking. Having made wine fo the last few year, David shows mind-boggling intuition with his 'less-is-more' mantra. With fruit sourced from the Adelaide Hills and Wrattonbully, AOW wines show restraint in all the right places - both in skin contact time, use of oak and extraction of tannin. Another great reason why The Hills is proving to be a breeding ground for young winemakers with access to great fruit, sensibility and a taste for adventure in their craft. - Distributor Note
