A breakout star in the Etna DOC of Sicily, Tornatore has become one of the region's largest and most respected wineries. Established back in 1865, the estate continues to be run by the same family who have acted as the faithful custodians of the land for generations. Tending to high altitude vineyards on the north side of the active volcano, the conditions are ideal for indigenous grape varieties to thrive. The wines are distinctive bottlings which encapsulate the essence of Mount Etna and effortlessly reveal the unique characteristics that make the region one to watch.

Etna Rosso is the signature style red of the area, made from local Nerello Mascalese and Nerello Cappuccio grapes. Bright ruby in the glass revealing aromas of red berries and morello cherries overlayed with sweet and savoury spices. Tannins glide over the deceptively weighted palate and interweave with brightly supported fruit notes of wild strawberries and delicate florals. Refreshing acidity keeps the fruit from feeling heavy, and rather lends itself to to this elegant and uplifting style.

Etna Rosso is highly food friendly and versatile by nature making it a clever alternative with many food pairings. Tomato sauces are a natural match for this wine; but it also shines alongside roasted meats, sausages, and oily fish like smoked sardines.

In 1984 Neil Ellis sourced grapes from vineyards not of his own and produced wine in rented cellar space. These grapes were sourced in the Stellenbosch district and meant a lot of nosing around the restrictive quota system prevalent at the time.

Today, the experience and knowledge of the past are applied to modern techniques and technologies for a new generation of winemaking. “Our vision remains to make distinctive, refined wines that are expressive of their terrain and rank amongst South Africa’s finest. A pursuit of quality, nothing less.” Neil Ellis

Amica, derived from the Latin Amicus, can be described as a gathering of friends, telling a story of companions who have come together around a table to partake in a good meal. Winemaking rules were broken for this barrel-fermented Sauvignon Blanc, which was made via wild fermentation and raised in old French oak. The results are a complex and textured expression of this flavourful and well-known grape. 

The source of the fruit is a single vineyard site from the Jonkershoek Valley in 
Stellenbosch. Expect scents of fruit blossoms supported by notes of honeysuckle, white nectarine and melon. The mouth feel is fresh with flinty minerality and lightly textured weight, with waxy notes contributing to a structured and lengthy finish. 

A smart pairing alongside green Thai curry or seared Ahi tuna.
