Foreign Friends Barbera 2024
These grapes began their journey amongst the honey hued trees of the high country. From there, they spent two weeks fermenting on skins before ageing in old French oak over the winter and spring, arriving here to make your acquaintance today.
Born over a love of wine, travel and friendship, Foreign Friends was founded by sisters Leila and Crystal and close friend Juliette who met in Beechworth a decade ago. Working in wine distribution as a rep, Juliette moved to Australia from France in 2016. The trio then met in Beechworth, a special childhood place for Leila and Crystal. Spent together were many vintages, family holidays and harvest parties, from which Foreign Friends was brought to life.
Based in Beechworth, our focus is on creating wines true to their varietal and our vision is simple - to bring all friends, old and new, together over a bottle of wine.
This Barbera offers beautiful warm vanilla and clove spices on the nose which become more earthy as the wine opens up.
Soft and velvety on the palate with blueberry notes. A long finish with umami tones and very fine tannins.
