This wine is a true character: dark, rich and expressive, with luscious notes of red plum, sour cherry and boysenberry. It’s bold, smooth and generous — the kind of wine that doesn’t just fill a glass, it fills a room with its presence. It’s the taste of long Italian lunches, conversations that stretch into the night, and a little bit of mischief. In short, it’s the kind of wine that begs for a proper meal to go with it.
And that’s exactly what we found in the kitchen of one of our absolute favourite local restaurants — Pescara.
Tucked away in the heart of the Hunter Valley, Palmers Lane is one of those rare gems that manages to feel both like a best-kept secret and a destination in its own right. Tree lined with vineyards and home to some of the region’s most charming cellar doors, this quiet country lane offers a true taste of wine country —without the crowds or the rush.
