94/100 | Gary Walsh, The Wine Front

Sir John Kirwan MBE, the former rugby legend and mental health advocate, has been conducting a love affair with Italy for over 30 years now. (It's ok, his Italian wife is from Treviso, she gets it!) The fruit of this love affair is the selection of truly delicious and finely crafted Italian wines that he imports into New Zealand. With his son Luca and daughter Francesca playing an active role in the business, John and his family have carefully chosen wines that capture the heart and soul of the regions they are made from. 

This is a thrilling reinterpretation of Sicily’s flagship grape, brimming with personality and unmistakable Lamoresca character. The palate is alive - fresh and energetic. Sappy and zesty with a cherry-orange tang, strawberry spice, and a bracing line of orange peel. There’s almondy depth too, giving this wine a deliciously savoury bassline to match its juicy treble. Tannins are grainy and earthy, finishing dry, silty, and awash with fresh raspberry brightness. A true original.

Tasting Notes

Gary Walsh writes "It’s Nero, but maybe not as you know it. Spicy, almost mustard green or watercress, but also liquorice/aniseed, violets, earth, cherry and amaro. It’s fresh, sappy, an earthy grip to tannin, orange peel and spiced strawberry, so much zest and tang, but has the bass to go with it, and almonds. Fresh raspberry, dry and silty finish. Quite a wine. Classic Lamoresca feel, but different too. It’s a terrific wine. Fans of this producer should probably form an orderly queue."
