Dolcetto is a unique Italian grape which hails from the mountain sides of Piedmont. Grown to high country Victorian vineyards by the Brown Brothers, it's establishing a following beyond all expectations. Blended with Syrah and served slightly chilled, it makes a sensational, slightly spritzy aperitif and all occasion refresher. A versatile partner to a wide range of foods including paella or cajun fish, this lively wine offers a generous palate with ripe summer berry characters, a savvy touch of residual sweetness and delightful frizzante finish.
Dolcetto translates into little sweet one, although the Italians generally make dry red wines from the variety. Brown Brothers, attracted to its vibrant red colour and attractive flavours of ripe summer berries, has opted to blend the precocious Dolcetto with a component of Syrah to produce a youthful, distinctively fruit driven wine. Parcels of Dolcetto and Shiraz grapes are harvested from highly specialized vineyards at ripe levels of baume sugar levels. Parcels are treated to a brisk, temperature controlled vinification, arrested just before palate dryness to retain a little natural sweetness and petulant carbon dioxide, to be bottled immediately upon completion. Alcohol 10.5%
TASTING NOTES
Bright magenta colour. Prominent cherry and berry aromas, lifted bouquets of red jubes, blackcurrant, red berries and hints of spice. A silky, juicy palate full of fresh summer berries and depth of flavour, Shiraz contributes length and ensures that the wine is not cloying. Natural grape sweetness is balanced by frizzante mouthfeel and refreshing, lively finish. A match to sweet desserts and savoury cuisine, nibbles, fresh fruit and cheese.

About the Brown Brothers Winery
In 1885 John Francis Brown, aged 18 planted ten acres of mostly Riesling, Muscat and Shiraz grapes on his Milawa property, located in the lower reaches of the King Valley in North East Victoria
Milawa Vineyard is the birth place of the Brown Brothers company, the first Brown Brothers wines were released in 1889. Surrounding the cellar door, Milawa Vineyard is the fruit source for renowned wines such as Patricia Noble Riesling, Shiraz Mondeuse & Cabernet and Dolcetto. It is also home to Brown Brothers’ winemaking facilities where grapes are received, crushed and made into quality wine. The current expanse of Brown Brothers vineyards, now located throughout Victoria, are as varied as the wines and wine styles. Brown Brothers»
