The 2019 Chalmers Lambrusco Maestri is a dry sparkling red from Heathcote, made from 100% Lambrusco Maestri grown on red Cambrian soils. The nose is aromatic and savoury, showing blackcurrant and dark cherry with violet, candied citrus peel and dusty spice.
On the palate, it is vibrant and dry with bright acidity, fine tannins and a refreshing mousse. Made using the traditional method with 27 months on lees and a low 6g/L dosage, it combines dark berry fruit with spice and a cleansing, savoury finish.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a great choice for drinkers looking to explore a serious, dry Australian Lambrusco with freshness and savoury structure. Serve well chilled and pair with salumi, prosciutto, pizza, charcuterie, rich risotto or other Italian-style dishes.
