Tellurian
Nero d' Avola
Heathcote, Central Victoria, Victoria, Australia
Christmas Day Lunch. I noticed one of the courses was Leg of Lamb and this wine was chosen from the Wine List with that dish in mind. Black and Red cherries with an earthy savouriness. This Sicilian variety has found a second home at Heathcote in Victoria - the terroir and conditions generally, suit Nero perfectly. Medium to full bodied with a rich texture. Heathcote is better known as the home of rich, full bodied earthy Shiraz.

2015 vintage consumed May 2017. Quite a nice fruit/tannin balance. Medium bodied but 14.3% alcohol!
