The Chalmers Family winery of Murray Darling in the state of Victoria is a vine nursery as well as a wine producer. They have made an effort to bring Italian grapes to their facility and supply vine cuttings to other wineries throughout Australia. Their Mother Block Red Blend combines seven of the Italian varieties and is made in a fruit forward, easy drinking style (these are, Sagrantino, Nero d’Avola, Aglianico, Sangiovese, Uva de Troia, Teroldego, and Piedrosso). The 2022 vintage offers a delicious combination of juicy fruit and lively spice. This vibrant red bursts with strawberry, red cherry and cranberry fruits enhanced by nuances of fresh flowers, herbs and coriander spice. The flavors are pure and lively, with juicy red fruits backed by subtle herbal and spice tones. This is a pure, exuberant and bright red that will offer great tasting pleasure over the next year.
