Description

This is 100% Nebbiolo from the Humis vineyard in Colbinabbin, grown on red Cambrian soils and handled with a light, steady touch. The fruit was destemmed, wild fermented, left on skins for 30 days, and matured in seasoned oak. It’s bottled unfined and unfiltered, with no additions at any stage.

It smells exactly like it should — sour cherry, orange peel, dried rose, and a bit of crushed herb and dusty spice. The palate’s firm and linear, with fine-grained tannin running the length. There’s plenty of grip, but it’s well managed, and the acidity keeps the whole thing lifted and fresh.

This is not a soft or friendly Nebbiolo. It’s lean, structured and built in a classic mould, made to reflect site and variety first. You’ll want food, air and patience — but if you like your Nebbiolo clean, dry and uncompromising, this is right in the pocket.

"First, a decant. Second, a big glass. Third, pour and swish and enjoy the dark rose aromatics, the orange peel, white pepper, rosehip, black cherry, marzipan and amaro bitters. An ode to the savoury side of nebbiolo, the bitey amaro side is delivered in pronounced tannins and bright acidity... It's got time up its sleeve."
- Jeni Port (Halliday Wine Companion)

94 points - "Destemmed, 20 days on skins, wild yeast fermentation , 19 months' maturation in Spanish clay egg. First, a decant. Second, a big glass. Third, pour and swish and enjoy the dark rose aromatics, the orange peel, white pepper, rosehip, black cherry, marzipan and amaro bitters. An ode to the savoury side of nebbiolo, the bitey amaro side is delivered in pronounced tannins and bright acidity. Earthy, astringent and firm, there is a strong argument for leaving this wine in the cellar. Something to consider if you wish to see it as its absolute best. It's got time up its sleeve." - Jeni Port (Halliday Wine Companion)
