Frederick Stevenson Barbera 2021 (12 Bottles) Adelaide Hills

From the Ceravolo vineyard in Ashton, Adelaide Hills. Blackberries and dark cherries dominate the nose and palate, with a bit of mint and fresh acidity coming through which seems to reflect the milder growing season. Whilst full up front with the darker fruit spectrum, the palate tails off into some fine grit tannins and slight dried herbal (sage/thyme) before training out to cherry stone like fresh acid and slight orange peel/amaro breathiness.
