The state of Victoria is producing some of Australia's most refined wines, few more interesting than this supertuscan-styled blend from the charismatic Sergio Carlei, one of the country's most talented winemakers. A blend of 70% Sangiovese from Lake Marmel, 20% Cabernet and 10% Merlot; both biodynamically grown in the Yarra Valley. Only 350 cases of this superb red were made, and it is exclusive to Harrods in the UK.
Tasting Note: Complex aromas, dark sour cherries and hints of tar, complimented by dusty, savoury notes. Ripe cherry and berry flavours are kept in check by fine dry tannins, great texture and savoury elements as suggested by the nose. All of this is wrapped around a beautiful core of acid creating a supple and approachable wine that cries out for food and will improve with further bottle age.
