Blind Spot Barbera

Such a clever idea, this: get a tip top winemaker to snap up small-ish parcels of wine for you and sell them under an exclusive label. Made from the Barbera grape usually found in Italian vineyards but here, it’s put down roots in Australia’s Victoria region. Loves it, too: with gorgeous black cherry fruits, spice and a touch of leather. Ours went down brilliantly with big bowls of bolognese.
