Wine Secrets

This extremely appealing wine shows masses of ripe cassis, raspberries and dark plum flavours. Nice, soft, spicy notes on the palate with a round texture and melting tannins.

Nero D’Avola is an excellent alternative to Cabernet Sauvignon or Shiraz, and is a great food match with beef or lamb. Complete with a sexy glass cork closure, this is definitely a current staff favourite at Scenic Cellars. Drink now and over the next 2-3 years.

Wine writer Jo Burzynska had this to say about the 2008 vintage, in the Viva section of the New Zealand Herald (June 2010);

“You can feel the warmth of the sun baked Italian isle of Sicily in the ultra ripe blackberry, blackcurrant and raspberry fruit of this robust red. Velvety textured, with an undercurrent of spice, tobacco and dried figs, it also features a glass closure that could create a talking point over dinner - that’s when you’ve finished eulogising about this voluptuous vino!”

The 2008 sold out within 48 hours of this review, and we think the 2009 is even better.
