Ringo Zinfandel 2023 is a bold, expressive Barossa red named in honour of Ringo - the beloved horse of Barritt Vineyards founder and winemaker, Greg Barritt’s daughter. Full of character, this wine reflects both its namesake and the generous nature of Zinfandel grown in the Barossa Valley.
Vibrant and richly flavoured, Ringo Zinfandel delivers ripe fruit, savoury spice and depth, matured for eighteen months in Hungarian and French oak. The result is a powerful yet well-rounded wine, crafted in a traditional Barossa style and designed for enjoyment, generosity and warmth.

Taste Description
Colour
Deep crimson with dark crimson hues.
Nose
Lifted aromas of blackberry and sweet cherry, layered with subtle spice, smoked game, thyme and cedar.
Palate
Rich and well-rounded, showing generous dark fruit flavours supported by savoury spice and integrated oak. Full-bodied and smooth, with excellent depth and a lingering, indulgent finish.
Vintage Conditions
The 2023 Barossa growing season provided excellent conditions for producing expressive, full-bodied red wines. Warm days encouraged flavour development and concentration, while cooler periods supported balance and structure.
Dry conditions throughout the season reduced disease pressure and allowed fruit to ripen evenly. The resulting Zinfandel shows richness, generosity and depth - ideally suited to extended oak maturation and a classic Barossa red wine style.
