Fox Gordon2018 Dark Prince Nero d’Avola, Fox Gordon
South Australia, AustraliaVintage: 2018
Opulent yet silky, this delicious wine reveals stunning aromas of deep fruits which are enhanced by notes of Sarsaparilla and lifted floral notes of red roses. Fine supple tannins and a hint of oak lead to a rich finish.
The Fox Gordon estate vineyards are located in the Adelaide Hills, overlooking McLaren Vale. Nestled in a natural amphitheatre, the vines are planted at an elevation of 380 metres above sea level, where cooling breezes from the ocean less than 18 kilometres away influences the microclimate. The vines are approximately 14 years old and are planted at the top of a hill at an altitude of 480 metres above sea level. It is a rocky site, which suits this very vigorous variety as the site has very little topsoil, slowing down the vigour.

Description
Fox Gordon is a family-run winery specialising in contemporary, premium and award-winning wines from the Barossa Valley and Adelaide Hills. From a diverse selection of grape varieties, each bottle is the ultimate fusion of wine and fashion. Made using the Fox Gordon philosophy of low input and low yield to give maximum flavour, while preserving the inherent qualities of the fruit and the site; these stylish wines are modern, bright and vibrant. Fox Gordon has been named a five-star winery by James Halliday six years in a row.
The grapes were destemmed and underwent a cold soak for one week. Fermentation took place in stainless steel and lasted for two weeks. The wine was then transferred to two and three-year-old French oak barrels for a period of 12 months, adding subtle oak complexity. The wine was bottled unfiltered.
