Drinking Window: 2018 - 2022
The Chalmers family have the widest collection of Italian grape varieties in Australia at their Heathcote nursery and Mildura vineyard. While all are worth seeking out, this Aglianico has just hit maturity, offering beautiful drinking over the next few years. Lifted herbal and dark spice aromas lead into a silky, savoury palate of rich, leathery red berry fruit with supple, round tannins and bright, balancing acidity.
