PALATE

Juicy, generous raspberry and plum, crunchy cranberry notes, herb and vanilla pod, with a hint of cedar oak. Lively acidity and fine tannins round out a truly delicious wine.

WINEMAKERS COMMENTS

Inspired by the wines of Sicily, Stephanie planted Mount Horrocks’ Nero d’Avola vineyard in 2007.

Cellar to medium term.
