Description
"Inspired by young, fresh Italian table wines, we have created a Nebbiolo that is ideal to drink right away. Nebbiolo receives meticulous vineyard attention to ensure clean flavourful fruit at harvest. Whole berry fermentation with 5-10% whole bunch to ensure perfume lift and complexity followed by early pressing to manage tannin extraction. Maturation in seasoned oak to soften tannins and preserve fruit aroma, and bottled within 12 months of harvest for freshness. Vino Novello. The 2024 vintage began with early budburst but persistent cool south easterly winds through spring disrupted flowering leading to poor set in most varieties. Intermittent spring and summer rainfall helped to temper the vines and the mild season led to terrific intensity in fruit flavour. Whilst yields were small, the quality is exceptional, this will be remembered as a great vintage." - Winemaker Note
