I’ll say up front, I am liking the new look labels of the Fossil Hill range from Angullong Wines. That’s not to say I am all for change or contemporising because I liked the forward nature of the original labels. However, as American author Irene Peter said,”Just because everything is different doesn’t mean anything has changed.” In this instance, yes, the new label is very schmick, but the contents of the bottle, their delightful Barbera, is just a good as it has ever been. I have no doubt both the new label and the wine will be warmly received.

An aromatically vibrant medley of red and dark berries with a touch of florals and earth nuance highlights its varietal personality and charm. Medium-bodied yet bursting with flavours of dark cherry, plum, blackberry, and ripe raspberry, complemented by gentle herbs, spice, and a hint of chocolate. So, so juicy and savoury on the palate, it shows some fine textural characters finishing silky with lovely fine tannins. Gee I like this a lot. At 30 bucks, this is ridiculously good value. This is should be one of your go-to wines.
