Di Fabio Estate are a real wine-producer's producer. With a history in Australia dating back to the mid 60's, and much much longer in Italy, the Di Fabio family earned their stripes selling grapes to some of McLaren Vale's biggest names. As the years went by and whispers of their fruit's fantastic quality grew louder, they transitioned into full wine production and when we taste this gorgeous drop, we're so happy that they did. With premium fruit from old bushvines in the Blewitt Springs sub-region, and a little bit of generational know-how, Di Fabio has crafted the ultimate people-pleaser. A dense, dark fruited wine that, although full-bodied, doesn't feel sluggish or clunky on the palate. Lively and rich blackberries and dark cherries are balanced by milk chocolate and sweet spice, a result of a very comprehensive oak treatment regime. This is a wine that was drinking beautifully five years ago, drinks beautifully today and will still be drinking beautifully in five years time. If you're a McLaren Vale fan, do yourself a favour.
