2023 Negroamaro
2023 Negroamaro
Negroamaro is native to the warm climate of Puglia in Southern Italy, where it is known for producing highly aromatic, deep coloured wine. In McLaren Vale, Negroamaro is a late-ripening variety showcasing classic varietal perfume with a bright line of acid.
"This is a very good showing of Negroamaro. It has all the varietal touchstones of black jellybean, bitter almond, dried herbs and sour cherry fruit. Tannin has a gentle scratchiness, and the acidity is vibrant but settled into a core of blue and black fruit. It’s kind of steely, with blood orange and a juicy sweet and sour finish of good length. Bang on. 93 points"

"This is delicious. An outlier among alternative varieties, negroamaro feels intuitive, as if it was meant to be here. Succulent and savory, boasting aromas of sour dark plums, beef bouillon and baking spices. The trajectory of fruit sweetness grows with air, driving a sappy, bitter and almost dusty finish with a swath of gentle tannins. A hint of rosewater in the finish. Drink now. 92 points"

"Vibrant ruby and purple colours. Mulberry, rosemary, musk and anise aromatics. Medium in weight with a fresh crunch of acidity lifting purple fruits and white pepper spices. Good length and finishes with a supple tannic dryness. 92 points"
