Mount Towrong Winery - Negroamaro 2023
Negroamaro is a red grape variety native to Puglia in Southern Italy. Our 2023 Negroamaro is a special one. Unfiltered and unfined, this wine spent 7 months in new Hungarian oak punchions. This wine has aromas of roasted plums & cedar with flavours of raspberry rock candy & spice. This wine is a perfect match for cured meats.
Situated at 600 metres above sea level with direct views of Mount Macedon and Mount Towrong, this cool climate vineyard enjoys moderate seasonal rainfall. Terracing the vineyard has allowed them to maximise the use of the gentle slopes and by practising sustainable farming techniques, they have been able to harvest high quality grapes with a low yield.
The Vineyard is farmed with the use of organic composts with no pesticides or herbicides used. Winter prunings are mulched back into the mid rows. All vines are cane pruned and grapes are handpicked.
