Jenifer Wall, one of the world's most awarded winemakers, has overseen this expression since 1995, part of a range that's grown from just four wines to over thirty since Barefoot's garage beginnings in 1965. Dark fruit flavours dominate the profile alongside hints of chocolate and a touch of vanilla, producing a rich, full-bodied red bold enough to stand on its own yet versatile enough to pair with a wide range of foods, particularly tomato-based Italian dishes and hearty red meat stews.
