Alpha Box & Dice Enigma Barbera 2022
Deeply coloured, vibrantly fruited and wildly expressive, Enigma is Barbera dialled all the way up. Expect searing acidity, bright berry fruit and a lifted herbal edge, all wrapped in a silky, low-tannin frame. It’s unapologetically lively—pure, delicious drinking. Producer Alpha Box & Dice are known for their imaginative, slightly eccentric approach to winemaking, crafting a modern, experimental collection of wines that are every bit as characterful as their labels suggest. Their focus is on creating boutique, small-batch bottlings that celebrate variety, site and creativity. Production Fruit is sourced from the Bonoposto vineyard in Kenton Valley, Gumeracha—home to light red clay-loam soils over granite. The grapes are hand harvested and split into two fermenters: one undergoing 100% whole-bunch fermentation, the other fully destemmed. Both components ferment with wild yeasts, with plunging and foot-stomping for gentle cap management. After fermentation, the wine is basket-pressed and matured for 18 months in old puncheons, one of which is second-fill to add a subtle whisper of oak. The parcels are blended before bottling. Tasting Notes A vivid, arterial-red pour leads into aromas of wild berries, rhubarb and a crunchy, stemmy lift. The palate is electric—bright acidity powering juicy berry fruit, with a faint touch of spice and structure humming beneath. Energetic, fresh and wonderfully drinkable. Food Pairing Fantastic with gamey meats, wood-fired pizza, or a smoky, rich pasta amatriciana. Technical Details Grape: Barbera 100% Region: Adelaide Hills, South Australia
