Chalmers is the god father for many of the Italian varieties
and in general their wines offer good quality drinking at affordable prices.
Chalmers Nero d’Avola 2011
What does the term weedy mean? The dictionary says
‘physically weak in appearance and containing or covered with weeds’. The
synonyms for weedy are undeveloped, frail, weak, thin and undersized. These
terms are not something that I would normally associate with quality wine but
that is the leading factor in this wine. I think it has to do with the 2011
vintage as it was a cool and wet year. There are notes of plum but they are
green and they are mixed with green pepper corns.
