Maxwell Nero d’Avola – From Sicily to McLaren Vale

Nero d’Avola is undoubtedly one of Italy’s finest red grape varieties. Its original home is Sicily, but in recent years the grape variety has found a warm home in the Mediterranean climate of McLaren Vale. Here it shows its wonderful dark berry fruit and its ability to retain its natural acidity despite the warm climate. The 2021 vintage is considered one of the best vintages of the last 20 years. The Maxwell Nero d’Avola matured for 12 months in used French oak barriques.

 

And this is how the Nero d’Avola from Maxwell Wines tastes

The Maxwell Nero d’Avola impresses with its lavish aroma of blackberries, black cherries, red berries, plums and herbs, paired with subtle roasted flavours. This Australian red wine is powerful on the palate, with plenty of fruit extract and a fine mellowness. The tannins are rounded, the acidity delicate and animating. A very elegant red wine from Australia, with a medium body, lots of dark berry fruit and a long finish.

And that goes well with the Nero d’Avola from Maxwell Wines

The Maxwell Nero d’Avola is an excellent accompaniment to grilled meat. The strong flavours and moderate tannins of Nero d’Avola make it an excellent choice. It goes well with steaks, lamb chops, burgers and other savoury, grilled or roasted dishes. The acidity of this Australian wine can cut through the richness of the meat, and its dark fruit notes complement the flavours of grilled dishes. The acidity of Maxwell Wines’ Nero d’Avola and the flavours of red fruit also go perfectly with pasta dishes with tomato sauces, such as spaghetti with marinara sauce, penne all’arrabbiata or lasagne. The grape variety can provide a nice contrast to the acidity of the tomato sauce. Whether you are enjoying a classic Margherita pizza or a hearty meat pizza, the red fruit and herbal notes of Maxwell Nero d’Avola can harmonise with the flavours of the pizza, making it a versatile choice.

If you’re a vegetarian or looking for a meat-free alternative, pair this Australian red wine with roasted vegetables. The earthy and herbal undertones of the wine can complement the caramelised flavours of the roasted vegetables. The wine can take a little heat and is therefore a good accompaniment for dishes with a kick. Combine it with spicy sausage, chilli or dishes with a hint of cayenne pepper.

Maxwell Nero d’Avola is also an excellent accompaniment to Mediterranean dishes. Try it with grilled aubergines, roasted red peppers, caponata or dishes with olives, oregano and basil. This wine from Australia also cuts a fine figure with hard cheeses such as Pecorino or Parmigiano-Reggiano. The acidity of the wine can cut through the richness of the cheese. Hearty tomato-based stews such as beef goulash or osso buco benefit from the wine’s structure and red fruit flavours.

The Nero d’Avola from Maxwell Wines complements the savoury and tomato-based character of these dishes. This wine is great with braised meats such as beef ribs, osso buco or lamb shanks. The fruitiness of the wine beautifully balances the richness of the meat and the depth of the braising liquid. A charcuterie platter with a selection of charcuterie, pâtés and olives is an excellent accompaniment to this Australian Nero d’Avola. The dark fruit and herbal notes of the wine enhance the flavours of the charcuterie.
