2024 Pee Wee Nero d'Avola Wine Club Price
Of all the new “Emerging” varieties that have been planted in McLaren Vale in the last 20 years Nero d’Avola has proven to be one of the most suitable to our climate. The amount of water used to irrigate it is on par with other drought tolerant varieties like Grenache. And for us, to be truly sustainable, not just farming organically/biodynamically the amount water, our most precious resource, we use to get anything to grow is of vital importance.
Bone dry, and made in a novello style we like to drink this wine chilled while wearing a beret as it’s raspberries for days 😊
TASTES LIKE Fresh raspberries, cherries and cherry-cola. Tastes slightly sweet but has fermented bone dry.
DRINK WITH Margarita Pizza and a nudie swim
Vegan friendly
VINTAGE SUMMARY This growing season was cool and wet and long. Vintage started 3 to 4 weeks later than “usual”. Our first parcel of fruit was the Bastardo coming in on February 21st and our last was Nero d’Avola on the 23rd April. As vines avoided the real heat of summer, we didn’t have one day above 40c the long slow ripening period gave perfect conditions for gradual flavour development and excellent, lovely natural acidity.
2023 Vintage ticked all the boxes.
WINEMAKING 3 day skin contact time. Open fermented. Hand plunged twice a day. Wild fermentation with temperature kept to less than 25C. No added acid, enzymes, tannin or fining agents.
