“Barbera is the most enigmatic of grape varieties: a late ripener, it's famous for having notoriously high acidity and very little tannin and structure. We add a little of the latter by employing some whole-bunch fermentation, extracting tannin from the stems to provide a lovely element of complexity. The grapes themselves are sourced from a favourite vineyard of mine, at 500m altitude in a cool yet sunny spot of the Adelaide Hills. Dripping juicy berry flavours, the Enigma is for those who love life with a little more zing in it. ” ~ Sam Berketa, Head Winemaker
