Alpha Box & Dice Siren - Nero d'Avola
McLaren Vale - South Australia - 2021
12.5% ABV
Vegan & Vegetarian
Fresh & fruity, stock controller mistake. Good wine but limited availability
While its roots are maritime, the 2016 Siren Nero d’Avola smells and tastes like it should be grown on a volcano – red ochre earth with a bright backbone. Even those with unbreakable wills will be forced into capitulation – rich berry and plum fruits are underscored with enough abundant exotic spice, burnt orange and lavender complexity to lure the canniest of wine drinkers to their fate.
Food match
Birds....duck, goose, pigeon.
Nero d’Avola isn’t a widely grown grape in McLaren Vale, meaning its yields are small enough to give Siren the benchmark for how small ‘small batch’ can be. Grapes are handpicked from Trotts Vineyard in Blewitt Springs which has sandy, limestone soil. 50% whole bunch ferment, 50% destemmed. Fermented with natural yeasts. The wine spends 18 months in old aok with 16 months on full lees.
