Primo Estate Pecorino 2024 x 12
Product Description
"Utterly delicious and vibrant..."
92 Points
Pecorino grown and made in a seaside wine region seems apt, and full of wonderful seafoody potential. This is spot-on for the variety, crisp, grassy, crackling with briny acidity, lemon-lime characters laid in delicately, a touch of pear in there too. Ultra fresh, ultrafine, not trying too hard, but delivering utterly delicious and vibrant, pretty white wine, with salty, fried things for sure in the future for those who drink this wickedly gulpable white wine.
This ancient Italian grape hails from Le Marche – birthplace of Primo, our founder.
We’ve made this wine using South Australia’s first ever planting of Pecorino.
TASTING NOTE
This is a mouth-watering white wine with a delicate fragrance of stone fruit, lemon blossom and almond. The perfect match for your favourite Summer dishes.
VINEYARD REGIONS
Pecorino is well suited to the cool climate of the Adelaide Hills in South Australia.
VINTAGE CONDITIONS
The weather remained cool until the end of March, when days warmed quickly. Low yields and a dry start to the year accelerated ripening. Harvest was completed in perfect autumn weather by late
March. Yields were lower than previous years, but the handpicked fruit arrived at the winery in stunning condition. WINEMAKING We pick fruit at night to ensure freshness of flavour. We crush
in the early hours of the morning. The wine undergoes cool fermentation in stainless steel to
preserve delicate fruit flavours. We bottle early to capture the vibrancy of this young style.

risotto and ‘fritto misto’ – a classic Italian seafood fry.
