Nero d'Avola 2022

Under the guidance of Barossa winemaker Steve Crawford, Frederick Stevenson’s 2022 Nero d’Avola captures the elegance of Italian varietals in a cool-climate Australian setting. Sourced from the Adelaide Hills, the grapes were hand-harvested and gently fermented before 10 months in French oak, preserving their purity and expressive character. Aromas of black cherry, plum, and soft spice rise from the glass, leading to a medium-bodied palate with fine tannins and bright, precise acidity. Limited in production, this wine reflects Steve’s dedication to small-batch, site-driven winemaking, translating the cool Adelaide Hills terroir into a refined and expressive Nero d’Avola that feels distinctly Australian yet unmistakably varietal-driven.
