The wine displays aromatics of tropical lychee and passionfruit, with some spice coming through too. It is the palate however where this wine really shines. A lovely textural style of wine that is respectful to the fruits intensity. The pre-ferment skin contact and light lees ageing gives some elegant power to the wines structure. Refreshing to the last drop, with a clean dry finish.

Use of selective harvester ensured that the fruit was in pristine condition coming into the winery. The fruit was “cold soaked” on skins for 4 days prior to fermentation. After this soak the fruit was pressed, roughly settled and fermented in old French oak puncheons. The wine was then aged on light lees for 4 months prior to bottling.

Nonna Diana is named after Callum’s grandmother and honours her Tuscan background (from Lucca). The words on the back “Lots of love and a touch of spice” emulates not only her amazing cooking skills that get passed through the generations but also embodies her loving (and sometimes cheeky) nature.
