The 2023 Maxwell Premium Nero d'Avola is a vibrant and expressive red wine crafted in a contemporary McLaren Vale style, showcasing the Mediterranean variety's bright fruit, savoury spice and silky texture. The nose is fragrant and inviting, revealing aromas of ripe blackberry, dark cherry and plum, complemented by notes of violet, dried herbs, liquorice and subtle spice.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with fine, silky tannins, balanced natural acidity and a smooth, generous texture, delivering flavours of juicy blackberries, black cherry and red plum layered with hints of savoury herbs, cracked pepper and delicate oak spice. The finish is long, fresh and beautifully balanced, making it an elegant and food-friendly red with plenty of character.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is a fantastic choice for customers looking to explore Mediterranean varieties beyond the classics. Its vibrant fruit, savoury complexity and refined structure make it perfect for relaxed dinners or entertaining. Best enjoyed now or over the next 5–8 years. Ideal with wood-fired pizza, grilled lamb, slow-cooked beef, Italian pasta dishes, chargrilled vegetables or aged Parmesan.
