Description

Showing the classic Italian combination of fresh acidity and savoury tannins, it’s bright and fruity, with bitter cherry and vanilla flavours and appealing balance. Sicilian fare, hearty red meat dishes and flavoursome vegetable dishes with capers and olives.

At the turn of the 21st century when it was clear climate change was becoming a reality and it was evident that the Cape Winelands would become a hotter, drier place, the Bosmans struck out to find a grape that would thrive in Wellington’s increasingly hot, dry climate. Nero is the first and only wine to be made from the Sicilian red grape Nero d’ Avola in South Africa. So it is perhaps the most unique of the Mediterranean varietals to be grown locally.
