Australia’s future vineyard sustainability depends on identifying appropriate drought-tolerant varieties, and Sicily's robust Nero d’Avola grape is showing great promise. Winemaker Stephanie Toole has been nurturing this variety for more than a decade in Clare and has evolved a style of voluptuous, rounded flavours without the dark, inky juice ever becoming too broad. A pretty nose of violets and wild fennel mixes with juicy flavours of liquorice and black cherry. It has rich colour but gentle tannin extraction with a medium weight from 12 months maturing in French oak barriques, then eight months in bottle before release.
