Description
The aroma is very FRESH and VIBRANT with spicy herbs, cherry, currant, plus other indescribable exotic fruits… The palate is soft and round with a good full mouthfeel and isn’t overly sweet given the 101 grams/litre residual sugar. A closing lick of tannin works well against the sugar.
We are one of only two growers in Australia of these classic and very unique varietals, and the only producer of this Recioto style. The classic Recioto wine style is the inspiration for this unique and delicious red dessert wine whereby the use of partially dried Corvina and Rondinella grapes (using a prune dehydrator) has concentrated the must, resulting in a delicious, sweet (Dolce) red wine.
Great with dessert, in particular chocolate-based desserts, and actually a good substitute for dessert!

Inspired by the appassimento styles of Italy’s north east. This will apparently be made into a more concentrated expression as the vines mature. For the better. As it stands, there is plenty to like. Bitter cherry amaro, date, negroni, spiced mulled citrus fruits and licorice root. Despite the sweetness, the overwhelming impression is one of savouriness. A very nice drink. A pleasing wine embedded with real promise, as with so much here.
