Nero d'Avola
Smelling like a strawberry patch on a hot summer day, this sumptuously scented wine is packed with youthful intensity.
Ripe red-plum and raspberry aromas lead to a palate that has strawberry and raspberry-compote flavor with a candied finish.
Nero D’Avola works beautifully in our warm Heathcote climate where the warm days and cool nights entice expressive flavour and structure. This versatile variety can produce distinctive rustic tannin structure and aging potential, and our Nero D’Avola shows the variety in a more vibrant, medium-bodied style.
Organic. Suitable for vegans.

Vineyard
Hand picked form our Tellurian vineyard growing in Cambrian soils formed over 500 million-years. Deep, rich, decomposed greenstone rock with soil depths up to 2m allow roots to reach deep, while relatively low fertility controls vigour and yield.
Winemaking Notes
Our approach with Nero D’Avola is very gentle in the winery to allow expression of tannins without getting too tannic. Grapes fermented cool in open fermenters with 20 days on skins, and were hand plunged or pneumatic plunged 1-2 per day once a day. Wine pressed and matured in seasoned French oak barrels for 8 months prior to filtration and bottling.
