Pepper Tree Alternate Series Barbera 2022 is crafted by Winemaker Nick Kruger from the Wrattonbully vineyards in the Limestone Coast, South Australia. This vibrant red opens with lifted notes of cherry blossom and dried herbs, leading into a palate of dark cherry, forest floor earth, and sun-dried herb tinged with a whisper of pepper. The wine is lively and refreshing, offering bright acidity and a graceful tannin frame; well-suited for near-term drinking. Minerality shows through subtle loam and rocky soil undertones rather than overt minerality. No major awards or critic scores are currently listed.
