No-nonsense wines from Barramundi
Barramundi comes from the Murray Darling Region in Victoria, where two of Australia's largest rivers meet. This means the vineyards are supplied with a constant supply of water, which is beneficial, as there's hardly any rain during the growing season! Just endless days of sunshine. The soil is also ideal for ripening the grapes.
It's a headstrong winery with no-nonsense wines. "Don't make life too difficult" is a motto at this winery. The winery's name is the Aboriginal name for the river bass that lives in the two rivers.
The wines were first released in Australia in 1990, featuring uniquely illustrated labels by an iconic Aussie artist. Two years later, the United Kingdom followed. The winery continues to grow and produce more and more wines. Their true success stems from these cool, laid-back, hippie labels featuring the Barramundi van. Behind the wheel is the cool Aussie dog Barry, his sights set on infinity.
A delicious summer wine from Barramundi
The Pinot Grigio grapes are harvested at night and fermented at a low temperature to preserve their freshness. After fermentation, the wine is aged on the lees. This softens the wine and adds complexity. This delicious summer wine is lively and fresh on the nose, with aromas of pear, nectarine, and grapefruit, along with a hint of honeysuckle. The palate is crisp and fresh with refined citrus aromas. A summery gem with a thirst-quenching, long finish.
