NobleRottersSydney - NZTrip - Hawkes Bay(1): {screwcap, 12%} The only foreign interloper of the weekend, which we wouldn’t have ordered had the winelist been a bit more forthcoming about origin. Light matchstick aromas with tropical fruit. On the palate, there’s some grey wet-stone flavours, but again this wine seems to have more sugar than the acid can handle. Good to see an Italian wine under a screwcap, even if it may have cost it the DOC moniker; but the wine itself is hardly a great advertisement for anything very much; an undemanding quaffer for a hot day at best.
