Wine Description
In the quest for grapes which produce excellent wines in warm Aussie conditions in the face of climate change, Aglianico has won the race. A late ripening grape, it cruises through summer to ripen slowly in the cooler autumn months giving a lower alcohol yet complex and refined red wine capable of long ageing. Made in a chestnut botte and bottle aged before release, Chalmers Aglianico has earned its place at the top of the range showing all the hallmarks of a great red wine. Poise and structure, freshness and complexity, this wine has it all.
Accolades
94 Points - Jeni Port (Halliday Wine Companion)
Wild ferment, whole berry, aged in chestnut bottle, unfined, unfiltered. A wild walk into savoury, herbal territory awaits. Shows its Italian heritage with perky acidity and amaro-like bitters in tune with red fruits, bramble, underbrush, wild herbs and earth. It's reserved, lean, taut. Deserves more time in bottle before opening.
