This is the ultimate dry grown vineyard - Casa Rossa. The vines have never seen water and the quantity of fruit is directly proportional to the rainfall. Some years this 50 year old block produces a few hundred kilos, in a good year maybe a ton. Winemaker Dan Eggleton put this in the best French oak and is extremely happy with the result. Anima means "soul" in Italian. This is the soul of Ben Murray Wines' little part of the Barossa.
