- TASTING NOTE: "Marananga sourced Nero d'Avola; wild fermented with 10 months extended maceration, matured in French oak. Crimson in the glass with notes of super-ripe plum, blueberry and boysenberry cut with fine spice, purple florals, sarsaparilla, earth and softly spoken oak. Plenty to like here with a pure fruit profile, tight, powdery tannin and a brisk acid cadence. Super drinking." 92 Points - Dave Brookes, Halliday
- ABOUT THE WINE: Selected and hand harvested fruit from an exquisite vineyard in the Marananga sub-region of the Barossa Valley. Primarily the wine is naturally fermented, followed by ten months extended maceration on skins which certainly push the winemaking boundaries and the subsequent intrigue of this wine. A final maturation in seasoned French Oak helps further soften and balance this distinctive contemporary Australian take on this Sicilian native. Precious Little

ABOUT THE PRODUCER: Precious Little Wine is Adam Smith, Viticulturist & Marty O'Flaherty, Winemaker. They do say opposites attract and maybe this holds true when it comes to business partners as well! At least let’s hope so for the sake of "Precious Little" anyway. Marty and Adam’s friendship began some time ago when they were both working for wine entities based in McLaren Vale in South Australia and met when paired together at a Corporate Golf day. Shortly after they played cricket against each other and have been mates who have shared a friendly and sledge-filled rivalry ever since. Precious Little
