We like that energy. This is a wine made to be opened, not saved.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMade in a light and vibrant style with an abundance of red fruit aromas. Freshly picked cherries dominate, providing a delightful burst of early summer vibes. Intertwined with the cherries are notes of ripe raspberries and plump strawberries. Hints of violet and wildflowers add a subtle floral complexity, while a touch of spice, perhaps a hint of black pepper, contributes an appealing depth to the aroma. Mid-palate, there is a gentle transition into more nuanced flavours. Delicate herbal notes, like thyme or rosemary, gently intertwine with the fruitiness, providing an intriguing layer of complexity. Silky tannins lend a smooth texture and add a touch of structure to the wine.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eLanghorne Creek's proximity to Lake Alexandrina gives it a natural moderating effect — warm days, cool nights, and a gentleness to the fruit that suits Dolcetto well. What comes through in the glass is pure and unfussy. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eDrink it slightly cool.

There's nothing sweet about it. What you get instead is deep colour, plummy dark fruit, a characteristic bitter almond finish, and tannins that are present but never pushy. It's the grape Piedmontese winemakers reach for on a Tuesday night, and for good reason: it's delicious, it's immediate, and it goes with almost everything on the table.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eAustralia has a longer history with Dolcetto than most people realise. Best's Great Western in Victoria planted it in the 1860s — making some of the oldest Dolcetto vines in the world — though it was mistaken for Malbec for over a century. It's still a rare find here, which is part of why we love working with it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eWe think the freshness and vibrancy of this wine is the perfect match for the Aussie lifestyle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"From Sunday Winemakers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51825343103317,"sku":"lsdd-1btl","price":29.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0982\/4278\/9717\/files\/LSDdolcettofromsundaywinemakers.png?v=1780979981","url":"https:\/\/fromsunday.com.au\/products\/lsddolcetto-by-from-sunday-winemakers","provider":"From Sunday Winemakers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
