Hunter Valley local Aaron Mercer makes wines from sustainably farmed vineyards across NSW, with this Barbera sourced from Angullong in Orange.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOrange’s high altitude helps the grapes retain their natural acidity, giving the ripe fruit a lively edge. Gentle hand plunging and a brief spell in oak keep the winemaking simple and the fruit at the centre of things.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlackberry, cherry and plum lead the way, with a little spice and a soft, rounded feel through the palate. It’s medium-bodied and ready to drink, with enough acidity to work well at the dinner table.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e95 points \u0026amp; Trophy\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChris Killeen Memorial Trophy\u003cbr\u003eBest Dry Red Table Wine - Italian Varieties\u003cbr\u003e- 2026 NSW Small Winemakers Wine Show\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e93 points\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Plush and velvety as Barbera can be, it's a wine that cuddles into the mid-palate, but the assertive acidity makes it a moreish drink. Barbera is for everyone – moderate in body, food-friendly, and a wine that is perfectly sippable on its own.\"\u003cbr\u003e- Shanteh Wale (Halliday Wine Companion)\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e","brand":"Mercer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67590273237035,"sku":"2025 Mercer Barbera","price":32.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2572\/9722\/files\/2025MercerBarbera.png?v=1791413948","url":"https:\/\/www.differentdrop.com\/products\/2025-mercer-barbera","provider":"Different Drop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
