Brash Higgins, NDV, Nero d'Avola 2022
DESCRIPTION
A Nero d'Avola that tastes like a Negroni? Colour us intrigued. Subtle notes of Indian spices, black cherry, orange peel and stem ginger are followed by a rich palate of pomegranate, raspberry and morello cherry. Well-balanced with sweet and sour acidity, this wine finishes off with fine, savoury tannins. Why not try this on for size with a lasagna, an osso buco or a big, yummy plate of pasta?
REGION
McLaren Vale
Australia
The McLaren Vale wine region, located just south of Adelaide, is very highly regarded throughout both Australia and the world. Shiraz leads the region's list of award-winning wines, making McLaren Vale a favorite location to grow this grape. Cabernet Sauvignon is another prominent grape variety, along with Grenache and Mourvedre which, together with Shiraz, make up some of the most acclaimed GSM blends here. Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc dominate McLaren Vale's white grape varieties, with a plethora of other regional and international specialties such as Merlot, Zinfandel, Tempranillo, Sangiovese and Viognier also making their mark.
A carbonic maceration like no other. This wine presents a light and gourmand aromatic profile. Notes of blueberries and mint. A fresh and accessible wine.
