Chalmers 'Mother Block' Red

Background

"The Mother Block red is a juicy little number with a definite sarsaparilla bentÉ based on Sagrantino, the variety originally from the central Italian region of Umbria Ð and Nero dÕAvola, the Sicilian workhorse variety, and touches of Aglianico (southern Italy, originally from Campania and Basilicata), Uva di Troia (also southern Italy, from Puglia), with Teroldego (hailing from Trentino Alto Adige in northeast Italy) and finally Piedirosso (from Campania). - Cellarhand"

Tasting Note

"This is all about raspberry, cherry, cola and plum aromas with notes of Szechuan pepper, poppy seed bagel and sweet liquorice. ItÕs light on its feet with a sweet supple feel, and full of lifted, pretty red berry fruits and raspberry jubes, with savoury and moreish cured meats and a fine sandy texture and bounceÉ whatÕs not to like ? - Cellarhand"
