Nose

Hints of just ripe red cherry, violet perfume and red/purple rose combine with a savoury ‘meatiness’ to give a light yet complex nose.

Palate

The wine is medium weight at best, with high acidity and a high level of tannin so reminiscent of the Nebbiolo variety. Importantly, the tannins are not bitter but display a nutty dryness which works well to balance the cherry fruit and floral spice core of the palate.

Aging

This wine was conceptualised as an early drinking style and will perhaps be at its best in the first 5 years of its life, but careful cellaring will see it mature and develop for well beyond that short timeframe.

Appearance

A flawless pale garnet in colour, this wine displays all of the typical colour notes of the Italian Nebbiolo grape.

Food Pairing

Enjoy with salami and prosciutto, a rare grilled steak, or anything with some fats in it to give the tannins something to react with besides your gums and teeth and to transform the drinking experience.

More from this Producer

Mr Barval Fine WinesCabernet Sauvignon Riserva

A beguiling mix of cassis and dark berry fruit with sweet spice and a savoury hint to temper the youthful fruit profile. Elegant, structured, with great length and complexity, this wine defines the greatness of Cabernet Sauvignon and the Margaret River region.

Mr Barval Fine WinesChardonnay

Medium weight, hints of beautiful french oak lie nicely behind the primary flavours of apple, pear and white stone fruit. For such a young wine, the balance right across the palate and the length of the palate are impressive.

Mr Barval Fine WinesVino Rosso

Once again the Vino Rosso arrives to continue the humble story of this wine which is really to provide a bit of a guilty pleasure for you. Wonderful mixes of florals, fruit and spice but with a generous, soft structure and low tannins, this wine was made for enjoyment.

Mr Barval Fine WinesCabernet Malbec

Select parcels of grapes from the famous Wilyabrup and Walcliffe sub-regions are brought together in this classic Bordeaux blend. Elegance and delicacy combined with great complexity and length result in a real wine of substance.

Mr Barval Fine WinesRosé

Aromas of delicate red berries as well as savoury hints from the barrel maturation and lees contact get all of your senses going. On the palate the low alcohol level really backs up the light body of this wine. High acidity reinforces the freshness and summery-nature of the wine and is balanced by some light red fruit notes and amazing mouthfeel and texture. Great complexity and length for such a light and youthful wine.

Mr Barval Fine WinesMistral

This wine is inspired by the white wine blends of the Northern Rhone Valley in France. Originating in Switzerland, the Rhone river flows west towards Lyon before turning south down the Rhone Valley to the Mediterranean coast. The strong, cool wind known as the 'Mistral' blows down the Rhone Valley from the Alps and has a profound impact upon all of the agriculture in the valley, viticulture being no exception. This is the inspiration behind the name of the wine. Bursting forth with lifted aromas of white flowers, apricot, and an array of sweet spices and perfume. Whilst this beguiling mix of flavours carries through to the palate and is held in frame by a wonderful line of fresh natural acidity, this wine achieves a feeling of softness and textural amazingness whilst still being light a fresh!
