2024 HALARA
Halara - to take your time and do so in a relaxed manner. Inspired by the Nero d’Avola blends of distant shores, represented by the fichi d’india on the label - symbolic to those shores but also growing next to Nero d’Avola vineyard here.
This wine brings together Nero from Tatachilla and Grenache from Blewitt Springs. Fermented separately using different techniques and then brought together to mature in large Slavonian oak. No fining. 900 bottles made.
Frutti di bosco, violets, liquorice, pepper.

The Wine Front
This bloke is an outstanding winemaker I feel. Has the touch.
It’s so good to drink, and yes it has a distinctly Italianate twist to it. Raspberry, redcurrant, cherry, a smattering of dried herb, something a bit steely here too, lovely perfume, some red liquorice. Medium-bodied, crisp cranberry acidity, bright with juicy mixed berry flavour, a subtle amaro twang, cool feel to acidity, light pumice stone tannin, finishing with excellent length. So nice. Highly recommended.
