Background:

For Pat and Vicki Vasarelli, the pairing of food and wine is as much of an art as their lively marriage. Having emigrated to Australia from central Italy they continue the Italian tradition of making spicy pork sausages, year-long cured prosciutto and strongly flavoured salted cod at their McLaren Vale home. The vineyard covers 40 acres and most of the root stocks are over 40 years old. Prior to establishing their own label, the Vasarellis sold their fruit to Wirra Wirra, Ryecroft and Orlando. Chardonnay vines feature on this vineyard, producing top quality fruit with plenty of varietal character. They produce wines with the richness of flavour and crisp acidity to go with the strongly flavoured white meat dishes like Vicki prepares, and more and more of our restaurants are serving today.
