Aura Range Barbera

Style: Wrattonbully has an inland maritime climate that is ideally suited to the growing of premium wine grapes, with warm days and cool nights, perfect for slow and even ripening of the fruit. In particular, the soil of this vineyard is formed by loams on clay, which gives structure and elegance. Fruity wine with a complex structure and body, and a lively herbal finish

The inspiration: We wanted to make a deep and powerful wine, where the fruit is the protagonist. Unfined and unfiltered. Low sulphites added. Balanced and complex.

Winemaking: We worked on a very small volume, just 2 T of grapes. We kept the skin in contact with the wine for 10 days in our square concrete fermenters. The porosity of this material allows us to have healthy fermentation with more interesting and sophisticate character produced by the yeasts. Lately the wine has matured in contact with his own lees in seasoned French oak puncheons, 500 L size, for six months, before going to bottle unfined and unfiltered.

Tasting notes: Deep ruby with purple shades. Mulberry, plums, wild blueberries with a pleasant finish of herbs and violets.

Medium-high body with soft tannins, natural high acidity and a bouquet of dark berries and minty notes.

Cellaring: This a versatile wine, great to be enjoyed fresh and young, but thanks to its high natural acidity and structure it can be drunk for up to 7 years.
