Details
Slippery juice for beach-goers this Spring. From the Leask family’s Sand Road Vineyard, McLaren Vale, down the way from the famous nude beach! An awesome site for this Sicilian variety, the resultant wine is bright, buoyant and hanging loose. Waves of sweet and sour cherry, juicy blueberries, spice and sexy mountain herbs. Medium-bodied and wraps up with fine chewy tannins. You’re never gonna stop the King of the Beach… until it sells out.

Worlds Apart Wines are artisan wines made from the best vineyards in South Australia. After more than a decade working in fine wine retail and the world’s best restaurants, Louis Schofield created Worlds Apart Wines in 2017 with a simple goal: to make wine thoughtfully, that is also delicious. Sourcing sustainably grown grapes from significant sites in Eden Valley, McLaren Vale and their own backyard in the Adelaide Hills, Schofield and his wife Hannah Jeffrey are delivering on a promise to make beautiful wine that is eminently drinkable and downright delicious. Louis draws on his training under the late, great winemaker Taras Ochota, and makes wines inspired by cult Australian and European producers, famed Burgundies, and winemaker peers and friends in the Adelaide Hills and surrounds. He and Hannah have recently built their own winery in the Hills, to ensure the future of Worlds Apart.

Pairing guide
It’s impossible to not get excited about cracking open a new bottle of Nero d’Avola, and this bold and beautiful release from Worlds Apart is an absolute stunner. If you’re seeking food pairing options for this flavourful red, we’d recommend dialling up the taste sensations with slow-cooked ragus, pork stews, homemade burgers and warm bacon and bean salads. Italian classics like caponata, bolognese and lasagne will do the trick, and it’s also excellent with lamb chops, roast eggplant, aged Italian cheeses and beef with black bean sauce.
