One of the country’s best Neros in fine form. This Eldorado Road Comrade Nero d’Avola 2019 is a success because it's deceptively complex. In the vineyard, Paul & Laurie have now …
Soumah’s Chardonnay is the star, but this Soumah Equilibrio Pinot Noir 2019 is dead serious stuff. Almost too serious. It's firm, stemmy, meaty and rather hulking Yarra Valley Pinot that pitches …
