2023 "Roxanne the Razor" NAND

The 2023 'Roxanne the Razor' NAND is a vibrant, chillable red that strikes a perfect balance between juicy fruit and savory complexity. Sour cherry, raspberry, and strawberry burst forward on the palate, while cola berry, chinotto, and earthy amaro-like notes provide depth and intrigue. Light and refreshing, with minimal tannin, it finishes with a savory, briny edge reminiscent of a Riverland take on Beaujolais.

This vintage showcases the best of Southern Italian varieties grown in the Riverland’s Mediterranean climate. Wild fermented in stainless steel, the Negroamaro and Nero d’Avola were kept on skins for 7 days, while the Aglianico was pressed after 3 days. Blended prior to bottling, the result is a bright, playful, and easy-drinking red that’s best served chilled.

Tasting Notes: Sour cherry, raspberry, and strawberry dominate with cola berry, chinotto, and an earthy savoriness in the background. Light-bodied, juicy, and refreshingly unique, with a zippy acidity and subtle herbal finish.
