Nero D'Avola 47%, Montepulciano 22%, Aglianico 17%, Grenache 14%
'Montepulciano 60%, Nero 28%, Barbera 12% from Riverland. The name Riverland would give you quite a different impression from the reality of the landscape, perhaps.
Cherry, a little black jelly bean/anise thing, subtle paprika smokiness. It’s light to medium-bodied, fresh, with light grip of tannin, some juiciness and saltbush, and a crisp finish of good length. It’s fun, and good to drink. I think 2021 a good vintage for this wine.'
90 points - The Wine Front (Gary Walsh)
Gary Walsh, The Wine Front
'Nero d’Avola and Montepulciano from the Riverland.
It’s fresh and a little spicy, with a kind of a port wine jelly thing going on. Medium-bodied, quite dry in flavour and tannin, with a distinctly saline edge to it. Finishes with raspberry and a tacky paint feel to the tannin. Solid honest wine.'
90 points - Nick Butler
'A lovely nose with ripe purple and red berries, savoury, bunchy spice and cured meats. Soft and supple - oak, if present, hardly perceptible. Enough sinew and acidity to afford the wine balance. Sessionable.'
