Precious Little Nero d’Avola 2024

From a vineyard located in what many consider to be the very heart of the Barossa Valley, the Marananga sub-region, the wine saw an extended maceration on skins for ten months. It then spent further time in French oak. The variety may be a long way from its Sicilian home, but it has taken to Australian conditions in the most impressive way. Maroon/magenta in colour, we have notes of red fruits, warm earth, herbs, blackberries, bay leaves, mulberries and chocolate. There is power and focus here with good concentration. A wine of medium weight and mid length, fresh acidity adds to the energy. Six years.
