Fiano Tasting Notes:
Vibrant and refreshing, the 2008 Fiano has apricot
blossom and stonefruits on the nose complimenting the
crisp acidity, almond and savoury notes on the palette.
Fiano always has a unique bees-waxy texture. At 12
alcohol it is light yet robust and as such makes a great
food wine.
Fiano Food Matching:
Fiano’s robust texture, rich flavours and often racy
acidity make it perfect for foods with high fat content
such triple cream cheeses, crab soufflé or cured meats.
It’s elegance and structure also lend it to be paired with
more refined fish and seafood dishes.

Aglianico Tasting Notes
The 2005 Aglianico is a bright cherry colour showing
black cherry and ripe plum fruit aromas with savoury
coffee and smokey notes. Its broody complexity, round
body and savoury Italian-esque tannins make for a classy,
elegant wine.
Aglianico Food Matching
The elegant leathery character of Aglianico combined with
the fresh plum fruit and herbal aromas matches beautifully
with rich light-meat dishes such as roasted duck or pork
belly.

Sagrantino Tasting Notes
The 2005 Sagrantino is an attractive ruby-red colour in
the glass with great legs. Up front plum and blackcurrant
fruit is muddled with more savoury rosemary, bitter cherry
and Italian coffee aromas. It has a smooth supple
mouthfeel and with its high chewy tannin and
mouthwatering acidity it will age very well for years to
come.
Sagrantino Food Matching
The massive earthy tannins in this unique wine are suited
to a robust fatty food like a pork sausage such as chorizo
or cotechino, or aged, hard cheeses.

Nero d’Avola Tasting Notes
The 2009 Chalmers Nero d’Avola is Australia’s first
commercial release from the variety. It is made in the
lighter style and has a nose of lifted red fruits with a savoury
palate of cherry and spice.
Nero d’Avola Food Matching
A light savoury red at only 13 % perfect for a summer
alfresco lunch, pizza or lazy Sunday barbeque in the sun.
Can even be served slightly chilled on a hot day as they do
in Sicily
