Description
This is Barbera with a bit more flesh on the bones – still got that trademark acidity, but here it’s wrapped in juicy fruit and soft curves. Grown in the Adelaide Hills and made by Martin Moran at Mordrelle, it leans into the riper, more generous side of the variety without losing its natural lift.
Expect a heap of red fruit, a splash of spice and that zippy line of acidity that keeps it all moving. Tannins are fine and gentle, more suede than grip, making it a great option for those who usually stick to the richer end of the South Aussie red spectrum but want to dip their toes into something a little different.
It’s vibrant, approachable and seriously drinkable – a Barbera that still shows its Italian roots, just with a bit more warmth and generosity.

"Oh my, what a colour – super dark purple with a red overlay – so enticing, as much as the aromas and flavours within. Red cherries, raspberries, a little wild strawberry and all spiced to the max."
- Jane Faulkner (Halliday Wine Companion)

- RLRick L.Verified Buyer1 year agoReviewing2021 Mordrelle Basket Press BarberaRated 4 out of 5 starsExcellent QPR
Barbera with a boost. Great colour, violets on the nose, mid-weight, bright cherry flavours but not sweet - which works for me as a fan of drier reds. A touch a spice. Soft tannins are barely there, longish aftertaste. Better to drink early is my guess - mine won't last long.
