Mount Horrocks Nero d’Avola 2023
NEW RELEASE
Inspired by the wines of Sicily, Stephanie planted Mount Horrocks’ Nero d’Avola vineyard in 2007.
The grapes are harvested by hand, then cold-soaked prior to a nine day ferment. Daily plunging ensures ideal extraction until the wine is racked to French oak barriques (20% new) for twelve months maturation prior to bottling.Less new oak is used to maintain its juicy palate.
Tasting Notes:
Medium-deep bright purple in the glass, with appealing aromas of ripe plum and fragrant spice.

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. Cellar to medium term.
