Barbera - Italy

Barbera grapes are some of the oldest wines in Italy and feature great acidity that is balanced by smoother, fruitier notes. These rich coloured purple-blue skinned grapes yield large quantities due to their vigorous growth.

Juice Description

• Known for its cherries, raspberries and blueberries.

• Strong acid with surprisingly lower tannins

• Higher in sugar when harvested in the ‘October’ range

Wine Description

• Great alcoholic structure provides longer cellaring capabilities

• Wine benefits greatly from good barrel ageing to round the flavours

• Blackberry and black cherries are found to be pronounced in younger versions but mellow with age

Winemaker's Notes

• We call this the “hipster” wine: It is a really good wine that you probably haven’t heard of.

• Can be enjoyed very soon after bottling. Though it can be aged as well.

• Blends well with Syrah, Cabernet, Pinot Noir, and Sangiovese

• Oaking can really change the character of the wine. Without oak it is very fruit forward with strong notes of blackberry and blum. With oak it will have notes of smoke, and leather and less fruitiness.

Our juices are packaged in a food grade 11.2L (2.9 U.S.gallon) plastic canister that are hermetically sealed.  After we harvest, crush and press the grapes, we then Flash Pasteurize the juice and hot fill them, to ensure, a clean, bacteria and yeast free environment.

Each canister weighs approximately 12.8kg (28.2lbs) and comes with one 5g package of our preferred Yeast. Our shelf stable juices will last up to 18 months in their original packaging.
