Description

“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

Come curious. Leave with a new favourite.
We don’t tell you what to drink. You don’t need to know your varietals, regions or vintages, and you certainly don’t need to pretend you do. Tell us what you like, hate, what you’ve tried or curious about — we’ll take it from there. Sometimes the best bottle is the one you didn’t know you wanted.
