Barbera, Limited Selection, King Valley - 2005 - Brown Brothers
Ref: A200405
This is a vibrant mid red colour with lifted aromas of sweet ripe mulberry, delectable spices and a hint of oak. One sip and these beautiful aromas follow through to the palate which has juicy ripe fruit flavours, moderate tannins, some savoury characters and bracing acidity. The alcohol also provides the wine with mouthfeel. This is the fouteenth vintage of Barbera to be produced by Brown Brothers with the wine continuing to grow in popularity due to its versatility as an accompaniment to the wide range of Mediterranean inspired dishes we enjoy in cafés and at home. It is elegant, medium-bodied wine very much in the European style that can be enjoyed now but will also cellar well for 3-5 years from vintage.

The dynamic, yet traditionally rooted family company of Brown Brothers, has been supplying us with premium Victorian varietals since the beginning of the 1980’s. Sadly, both John Brown (snr.) and Patricia Brown died in 2004 but their sons will continue with the tradition of being Australia’s leading varietal specialist, with some 35 different premium varietal wines being regularly or experimentally produced. This exceptional range of wines comes from their own Milawa, Mystic Park, Banksdale and Whitlands vineyards and they also operate an unusual ‘Bonus Contract Scheme’ with numerous growers in the King Valley, where they pay high prices for grapes on the understanding that each grower achieves the highest level of quality possible.
