Nugan Estate 'ALFREDO'
King Valley, Frasca’s Lane Vineyard
Sangiovese Merlot 2006
The Nugan family named this wine after their grandfather, founder and inspiration - Alfredo Nugan.
When a young Alfredo emigrated from Spain in 1940, he had a clear vision of his family’s new life in Australia. Today, his legacy sees the Nugan family established as one of Australia’s most successful agricultural enterprises. This wine is a tribute to his vision and the passion he instilled in us, his family, to pursue his ideals of outstanding quality and service.
Both the Sangiovese and Merlot are sourced from our Frasca’s Lane Vineyard in Victoria’s cool climate King Valley.
Deep crimson with a youthful purple hue. Ripe aromas of cherry and spicy plum melded with mocha, dark chocolate and earth. On the palate, this rich and savoury Tuscan-inspired wine shows excellent fruit concentration of spicy plum and raspberries over savoury earthy notes with excellent structure and lovely integrated tannins.
