About this product
Dry, Full Bodied style of Nero d'AvolaPairs well with PizzaIndependent wineryNero d’Avola translates to ‘Black of Avola’. The distinctive dark skinned grape variety is the most widely planted variety in Sicily and is perfectly suited to the Adelaide Hills. This wine has vibrant aromas of raspberries and black cherries, finishing with supple dry tannins from French Oak.

Full bodied white wines have a noticeably textural mouthfeel with good palate weight and full flavours.
Dry wines have no trace of sweetness at all.

The cool climate brings cherries to join the plummy base. Sensibly, the oak influence has been controlled. A good example of the approachability of nero d'Avola from a young age
