Chalmers Nero d'Avola 2024

Wild fermentation in stainless steel, whole berry, mlf, unfined. Sicily's bold, sweet fruited nero is making a real connection with Aussie drinkers. The fruit is the thing, so bright and red-berried in a world of cherries, raspberries and plums, with equally lively spiciness. There's another side to the wine, too, a smoked charcuterie side, earthy, savoury, dressed in wild herbs and red licorice and delivered on sinewy tannins and brisk acidity. And, boy, does it last on the tongue. Drink by 2029.
