| Vintage | Great to see timely rainfall throughout the Barossa with falls being during critical times of the vines production thoughout the growing season. Great mild vintage for the Barossa allowing for flavours to slowly build with excellent acid retention. The foothill vineyard in Angaston showed good canopy to protect the small intense fruit making this 2021 a deliciously showy mid weight fruited release of deliciousness in spades. |

| Style | A truly charismatic red table wine with high perfumed dark red spiced summer fruits that runs through the palate with blood plum, black spice and licorice blackstrap, the finish generous, fresh and lively with lovely super fine tannins. |

The WineFront – Gary Walsh June 2022
I like Negro Amaro
Blood plum, cherry, orange peel and almond, pepper and spice. Medium-bodied, savoury and meaty, plenty of spice, gently bitter dark fruit, cold coffee, some sooty tannin, and a zesty peel finish of good length. Excellent. A wine for the table, and great drinking too.
