Brash Higgins ‘NDV’ Nero d’Avola.
Amphora wine.
Aged in clay; an ancient technique experiencing a modern day renaissance. Decanting recommended.
"Dark ruby in colour, with hints of black cherry, Indian spices and stem ginger. Orange peel also present which is usual in this wine. Reminiscent of a Negroni cocktail, angostura bitters and all. A pomegranate, bright dark raspberry and morello cherry mid-palate balanced by a refreshing sweet and sour red cherry acidity. The wine finishes with fine grained, chain link tannins as well as some savouriness. Decanting is always recommended for amphora wines” – Brad Hickey, Vinitor, September 1, 2021.
