2024 Chalmers Nero Zero

The 2024 Chalmers Nero Zero is a distinctive alcohol-free red wine crafted from Nero d'Avola grown on the Chalmers estate in Heathcote. Produced from premium estate fruit before undergoing a gentle de-alcoholisation process, it retains the variety's vibrant character and regional identity. The nose is bright and expressive, revealing aromas of cherry, raspberry and tangerine alongside hints of liquorice, char and earthy spice.

On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied with juicy red fruit flavours, lively acidity and a smooth, approachable texture. Notes of cherry cola, raspberry and citrus peel are balanced by subtle savoury characters and an earthy edge, creating a refreshing alcohol-free red that still offers varietal complexity. The finish is clean, fresh and gently savoury, making it a versatile option for a range of occasions.

Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for those seeking an alcohol-free red wine with genuine flavour and character. The Nero d'Avola fruit provides plenty of brightness and freshness, making it enjoyable on its own or alongside food. Serve lightly chilled and pair with roast beetroot salad, chargrilled vegetables, barbecue chicken or Mediterranean-inspired dishes.
