{"product_id":"2023-traviarti-black-springs-nebbiolo","title":"2023 Traviarti Black Springs Nebbiolo","description":"\u003cp\u003eBlack Springs is a young vineyard with a big future. Simon Grant helped establish it back in 2016 on a friend’s property at 450 metres in Beechworth, where decomposed granite soils and cool nights give Nebbiolo a natural tension and lift. Until now, the fruit has been blended into the estate wine, but in 2023 the block showed enough maturity to stand on its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFermented in concrete and raised in ceramic eggs, there’s no oak to blur the detail. What you get is a strikingly aromatic Nebbiolo—rose petals, sour cherry, grapefruit peel and spice - with a palate that’s both generous and finely etched. The tannins are unmistakably Nebbiolo, firm and architectural, yet here they’re cushioned by a core of red fruit and savoury depth that makes the wine already compelling to drink.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor a first solo outing, this is seriously impressive. It captures the perfume and energy of young Beechworth Nebbiolo while giving a glimpse of the complexity and harmony that will only build as the vines age. Simon says it best: \u003cem\u003e“Without the interference of oak you see both the purity of fruit and the plush unadorned tannin framework.”\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA brilliant debut from a site we’ll be hearing much more about.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Ripe dark cherry, dark florals and raspberry lead an invitingly aromatic opening, with woodsmoke and earthy paperbark beneath... Classy and perfumed with excellent structure.\"\u003cbr\u003e- Tom Kline (Decanter)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Traviarti","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42116771282987,"sku":"2023 Traviarti Black Springs Nebbiolo","price":60.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2572\/9722\/files\/2022TraviartiNebbiolo_191bea53-3861-4726-be69-2e31b209af57.webp?v=1756704280","url":"https:\/\/www.differentdrop.com\/products\/2023-traviarti-black-springs-nebbiolo","provider":"Different Drop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
