Description
Here’s a wine that walks right out of the Hilltops and straight into Piedmont with a distinctly Ravensworth twist. Bryan Martin blends Barbera and Nebbiolo here with all the charm and cleverness you’d expect, delivering a wine that’s bright, savoury, and seriously moreish.
Barbera brings its juicy red fruit, vibrant acidity, and easy charm, while Nebbiolo steps in with florals, spice, and a bit of muscle to rein it all in. It’s a classic pairing - lifted aromatics, plush cherry fruit, and that firm-but-fine Nebbiolo grip tying it all together. Bryan reckons it’s “a little more serious for the process” this year, and it shows in the wine’s structure and depth.
Medium-bodied, food-friendly and wildly versatile, this is the kind of red you bring to a dinner party and end up fielding questions about all night. Delicious now, and will hold its shape beautifully over the next few years.
"Our tilt at the wonderful Lange blends from Piemonte. Barbera is just so juicy and zesty, the introduction of the more serious Nebbiolo tames this acidity and adds a wash of fine tannin. Like mash and gravy, they just work.
