Description
Brian Freeman in the NSW Hilltops of Young is the first in Australia to grow these grapes native to the Veneto (commonly used in valpolicella amarone). Brian, former wine science professor has done it differently to the Italians (100% dried grapes to give a very porty oxidized style )….he has used his solar powered prune dehydrator to dry only 5% of the blend because he prefers a cleaner fruit driven style. Complex flavour of dark cherries, plenty of power, massive tannins, good tangy acidity and a more-ish European savoury edge. Bring on the veal parmagiana. Every Australian wine writer gave this 2002 wine a huge write up. This exotic red has been carefully cellared to enjoy now !
