Nord-Sud, Rouge 2023, Adelaide Hills, Australia

Bright red berries, sprinkled with herbs.

Nord-Sud is the new Aussie project from Vino di Anna, started in 2022. The duo rented space at a friend's winery in Basket Range, sourcing organic fruit from a range of sites across Adelaide Hills. Indigenous yeasts, no additives, no fining, no filtering. All the good stuff. 

The rouge is principally a blend of dry-grown, organically farmed Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon from Oakbank, with a small percentage of Grenache, for some added spice and complexity and a touch of Pinot noir from the Piccadilly Valley, to add aromas. 

This juicy, vibrant red wine has attractive aromas of cherries and strawberries. The palate is dry with plenty of red fruit flavours, ripe, soft tannins, a good natural acidity and medium lenght.
