Australian Nero d'Avola essentially starts with this family: the Chalmers vine nursery brought the Sicilian grape into the country in 2000, as part of a shipment of some 70 Italian varieties and clones that had never been available here before. Their own fruit comes from Colbinabbin in Heathcote, Victoria, an east-facing block planted in 2009 at 210 to 220 metres over a jumble of ironstone, dolerite, green basalt, shale and quartz. A cooler-than-average summer in 2023 stretched ripening out, and the winemaking stays out of the way: hand-picked, destemmed to whole berries, wild-fermented in stainless steel, six months in tank, no oak, no fining or filtration. At 13.2% it reads much closer to a crunchy Mediterranean red than an Australian blockbuster, and twenty minutes in the fridge does it a favor.

More about Chalmers

An Australian winery with an Italian heart. Bruce and Jenni Chalmers began growing grapes in the 1980s at Merbein in the Murray Darling, and their nursery imported close to 70 new clones and varieties, many of them Italian, released in Australia in 2000. Daughters Kim and Tennille now run the business, which includes an 80-hectare site in northern Heathcote. Greco, Vermentino, Nero d'Avola, Negroamaro: proof that Italian grapes thrive Down Under, in food-friendly, honest wines.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What has to say about this wine:

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Lamb skewers off the grill, spicy sausages, pizza with 'nduja, eggplant parmigiana, or a tomato and lentil stew.

Tasting Profile

Violets and dusty raspberry over darker plum, with graphite and a little cocoa. Medium-bodied and juicy, with fine chalky tannins, fresh acidity and a savory, faintly earthy finish.
