Rongo Prelude Aglianico 2025
$ 35.00 incl. GST
Description
Grown in Chalmers’ Merbein vineyard. Wild fermented and aged six months in neutral oak, with gentle extraction techniques to tame what can be the bony tannins of this variety. Made to be served chilled.
Both cooked and fresh raspberries, pomegranate, and a feeling of old-school confectionary: wine gums, cola bottles, Red Ripperz (formerly known as Redskins). Bright fruit is balanced by a medicinal bittering edge, think cough lolly impressions. Fine tannins give depth, a refreshing though unmistakably vinous expression of chilled red. Big tick.
