The story of Nero d’Avola started in 2004 when the first plant material came to South Africa after Petrus Bosman identified the possible synergy between this Sicilian grape variety and South African’s Mediterranean climate. After two years in quarantine only two vines survived from which material was propagated and taken to Vititec to be tested and cleaned of viruses.
The wine was made with the strong focus of showing off the varietal characteristics, with notes which shows that it tends to lean more to spiciness, deep purple prune and candied fruit A wine to be enjoyed 2 to 15 years after the year of vintage.
