Personalised Aphelion Welkin Nero d'Avola 2021 13% 750ml

*2018 Young Gun Winemaker of the Year Award Winner*

Pure fruited aromas of redcurrant and spicy plum follow through on to the palate with fresh acidity keeping the wine lively and vibrant. A slight rasp of powdery tannin a savoury element and provided good palate length.

Expert Review:
Mike Bennie- 91 Points, Sweet fruited red, supple, soft, juicy and vivacious. Shows the nero true colours of sweet cherry, kirsch, sweet spice and light cherry cola characters. Sniffs and sips the same zone. Easy on the palate, simple, a little nibble of tannin and a sweet but fresh finish. Slick texture and ease of drinking here. The Wine Front, 3 October, 2021.
