The Chalmers family nursery is responsible for importing, growing and selling hundreds of Italian grape varieties across Aus. This Sagrantino-led blend of just a handful of those varieties offers supple red cherry, cranberry, floral and peppery-spice aromas to start. The sanity palate is midweight with lovely tang and cat's tongue tannins that rein in the riot of red-berry fruit. Yum. — Christina Pickard

A skittish blend from the nursery block, or Mother Block as it is called. This is the source, as the back label proudly proclaims, 'of millions of vines planted across Australia.' Sagrantino, nero d'avola, aglianico, piedirosso and other varieties that are righteous and intuitive in these parts. This is so much fun! Reminiscent of the vino da tavola that you rave about after a vacation somewhere in bella Italia. Only made far better! Juicy. Red and orange pastille, sour cherry and a lineage of dried herb from attack to the edgy finish, perfect for mopping sauce. Drink now.
