leaving behind the gross lees. Bottled, sealed, and labelled on site.

Grown by Troy McInnes from Chalmers on the slopes of the Mt Camel range near Colbinabbin in Heathcote. Negroamaro's origins can be traced to its spiritual home of Puglia in Southern Italy, where it makes full bodied and rustic wines with wonderfull freshness. It has shown incredible potential in the dryer, warm regions of Australia,
ripening beautifully with minimal water, but still maintaining heaps of acid.
