planted in 1974 and located next to the old railway line (treinspoor)

and dusty earth

magnolia and lilac blossoms

but you will need to be patient

The first vintage of this wine

rich and vinous

with dark cherries

the 2022 Barbera D'Alba is fresh with notes of wet stones

producing an exceptional richness

It also keeps the substantial flavours of savoury oak
