Sweet success - our Dolce Nero starts to make an impression!

Here I am, slaving away, pouring tastings of our wines at the
Canowindra Twilight Markets. I prepared little espresso cups of
dark chocolate and cardamom mousse to go with the Dolce Nero.

Our Sangiovese dessert wine "Dolce Nero" is gaining a few fans. This morning we received an order from Stuart Knox of Fix St James Wine Bistro fame in Sydney. Stuart was just listed as a "sommelier to watch" by Max Allen in The Weekend Australian. He is a great supporter of Australian boutique wines. He tweeted, and I quote;

"Loved the Dolce Nero. Really unique and very flexible with food matching. I've got a crazy idea to try. Can you send me 12 to pour?"

Yah! We love new orders!

Here is a description of the Dolce Nero from Australian Wine Communicator of the Year (2010) Peter Bourne;

"This lush and plush passito-style dessert red has a rich, concentrated grapey bouquet of marinated prunes and liquorice allsorts. The palate is equally luxuriant though its Sangiovese heritage remains clearly defined...Perfect with Corella pears marinated in red wine and served with Italian-style rice pudding or a slither of classic Gorgonzola dolce."

Sounds delicious doesn't it? You can read more about our Dolce Nero in my Nov '09 post...
