Learn by Tasting (ep. 34) Wine Folly

This grape grows almost exclusively on one island. We found it growing in the most unexpected place. Can you guess the wine before the big reveal?
So what wine is it?
Here's a link we made of the full wine details.

Today we’re tasting Chalmers Nero d’Avola from Heathcote, Australia. It’s the first of its kind in this country. The producer imported the grape back in 2009 and started a vineyard full of unique Italian varieties.
We were surprised at the amazing potential of Sicilian varieties like Nero d’Avola outside of Italy. The flavors were so much different and so was the boldness level. If you’re a fan of Pinot Noir or Grenache, you’re not going to want to miss this.

Wow, Nero from Australia, I'm intrigued.

I knew that it was Nero d' Avola as the other cultivars didn't fit. It is great to see the wine world swinging away from the faux "international" varieties and embracing greater diversity. I have tried Aussie wines made with Italian cultivars and have been pretty impressed. Great to see the winemakers telling their story, it makes the whole experience more authentic. Great video and loads of fun. Cheers!
