Nero d'Avola is a wine grape that is native to the Italian town of Avola, located on the island of Sicily. The grape has traditionally been used for blending, but has recently emerged as a popular stand-alone varietal. Nero d'Avola thrives in the hot, arid climate of Sicily - which makes it well suited to the hot and dry conditions in many parts of Australia.
Somewhat of a love-hate relationship exists for our Nero d’Avola here at Gibson. We discovered a few rows planted in amongst one of our grower’s Shiraz blocks, just on the border of the Eastern Barossa floor. Our pain with the variety comes through its tendency to have poor fruit set - cold Spring winds commonly hitting our grower’s block. Some years the bunches are barely worth picking, with scattered berries of very small berry weight.
We can’t help fall back in love with it though.
Aromas of violet, raspberry, red currant, boysenberry, and black cherry lead into a fresh, medium-bodied palate. Flavours of boysenberry, raspberry, and pomegranate are lifted by fine acidity, finishing with savoury, moreish tannins. Bright, balanced, and elegantly structured.

Tasting Notes
Aromas of violet, raspberry, red currant, boysenberry, and black cherry create a lifted, perfumed bouquet, balancing floral freshness with ripe berry fruit. The medium-bodied palate is bright and juicy, with flavours of boysenberry, raspberry, and pomegranate carried by fine acidity. Savoury, moreish tannins provide gentle structure on the finish, rounding out a refined and expressive Nero d’Avola that favours elegance over power.
