See previous Delectable notes for Bellwether Montepulciano. Bellwether is based In Coonawarra but these grapes come from the warmer Riverland area perfectly suited to Monte like its homeland of Abruzzo in Italy. This had a youthful colour - fruit driven with minimal oak influence. Medium to full bodied showing plums and aniseed. Can be drunk now or experience short term cellaring. Barb and I loved having a hand in making this wine when we did vintage at Bellwether in 2021.

Jun 19th, 2025Immediately you can smell and taste this wine’s youth. Bright red cherries - earthy and mineral. Medium bodied with soft tannins. Wine is made by Sue Bell from Bellwether in Coonawarra but the fruit is from the Riverland. Barb and I helped make this at vintage when we spent a week of vintage in April 2021. Really pleased how this turned out. Only 120 dozen made.
