Loved this, good tannins, leathery volcanic action but also nice red fruits with a slight funk

Delicious Shiraz from Barossa. Smooth with a long finish. Powerful fruit and elegant structure. Love the notes of cassis. So far this is the best of my AUS 23 in-country tasting tour. — 10 months ago

The 2020 Nerello Mascalese Pirrera is delicate and coy in the glass, showing just nuances of rose and black cherry contrasted by dusty earth. Silky and refined, it washes across the palate with a pure blend of red and wild blueberry fruit. A mineral staining adds tension toward the close. It finishes structured and long with a citrus concentration to balance as tart raspberry and sage slowly taper off. Patience will be required to tame this structured Etna Rosso.

Innovative (unique?) blend of Nerello Mascalese, Grenache, Grecanico, Carricante. Sour cherry, raspberry, volcanic minerality. — 2 years ago

Very good. But I prefer the single variety Shiraz over the blend. I don’t think cab adds to AUS Shiraz, quite honestly. 😎🇦🇺 Note that I am rating the Vetus Purum reserve wine. Delectable just cannot classify it right. — 10 months ago
