2021 Barringwood Estate Schönburger, Tasmania

Barringwood Estate's Schönburger is a distinctive white wine produced in Tasmania's cool-climate region. Schönburger, a rare German grape variety, is a cross between Pinot Noir and Pirovano 1, known for its aromatic profile and adaptability to cooler climates. Barringwood, established in 1993, has been a pioneer in cultivating this varietal in Australia, showcasing the unique characteristics of Schönburger through meticulous viticulture and winemaking practices.

A very pale yellow hue. On the nose, it offers aromas of rose petals, Turkish delight, and lychee. The palate is delicate, featuring flavors of guava and ripe pear with a hint of spice, balanced by a fresh, clean finish. This wine pairs well with spicy Asian cuisine and strong cheeses. 

Barringwood's commitment to quality and innovation has earned them a 5-star rating from James Halliday for multiple years. Their Schönburger has also received accolades, including Winestate's Alternative White Varietal of the Year.
