AUGUST - NERO D'AVOLA


Nero d’avola is the pride of Sicily and one of Italy’s most exciting red varietals! 

 

Often compared to New World Shiraz, it’s bold and juicy, with just the right mix of attitude and elegance. Expect a mouthful of ripe blackberries, dark plums, and a whisper of sweet spice, balanced by smooth, silky tannins and a subtle kick of pepper. It’s a red that doesn’t try too hard - it just knows how to impress.

 

While it hails from sun-soaked Sicilian vineyards, Nero d’Avola has found a second home in sunny Aussie regions like the Riverland. Grown here, it takes on a slightly lighter, juicier, and more fragrant profile - perfect for sipping on warm evenings or pairing with just about anything grilled.

 

Whether you’re a Shiraz fan looking to branch out or a red lover seeking something a little off the beaten path, Nero d’Avola is your next go-to glass. Rustic charm meets modern drinkability - what’s not to love?
