Details
The wine has good colour and a ripe nose that mingles flavours of melons and nectarines with a toasty, biscuity character.
It has good weight and richness on the palate, with a lovely purity of flavour, nice balance of oak and very good length.
It proves what can be achieved in Verona if yields are contained and the fruit is allowed to achieve full ripeness.
Alpha Zeta was started in 1999 when Liberty Wines, working with leading New Zealand winemaker, Matt Thomson, set out to produce a range of modern, fruit driven wines from the hills outside Verona. Our aim was to work with growers (rather than buy bulk wine, which is standard among most wines from Verona at this price) to obtain ripe grapes (by reducing yields and picking later) and then, using Matt's expertise, preserve these flavours in the finished wines. The result is a realisation of the potential inherent in Veronese viniculture.
