FOREIGN FRIENDS 'HILMA' 2023 BARBERA

from $35.00
sold out

Fermented, bottled, waxed and labelled by hand.

At first, this barbera offers beautiful warm vanilla and clove spices on the nose which become more earthy as the wine opens up. Soft and velvety on the palate with blackberry and blueberry notes. A long finish with umami tones and very fine tannins.

These grapes began their journey amongst the honey hued trees of the high country. From there, they spent over a week fermenting on skins before ageing in french oak over the winter and spring, arriving here to make your acquaintance today.

SIZE: 750mL, 8.3 STANDARD DRINKS

BEST PAIRED WITH: Creamy risotto, braised meat dishes, pasta in cream or tomato sauces, anything with mushrooms. This drop is also a perfect addition to your pizza night.

“This is very good barbera, hitting all the sound boards of vibrant purple to blue fruit allusions, anise, violet and tar, underpinned by perky acidity and nimble tannins, finely hewn. Dangerous drinking. Dangerous because one glass is nowhere near enough. Drink now, preferably with a brisk chill."
