About the wine
Tasting notes
A complex and deeply satisfying nose with florals, fresh red berries, plum and dark cherry, forest floor aromas veering toward mushroom and truffle, baking spices and hints of cedarwood. The flavours are intense, fleshy and fresh with plum and currant, liquorice and subtle spiciness, swept up by firm, ripe tannins and a long, flowing finish. A wine of impressive structure that will age for decades.

Nebbiolo
Often referred to as the king of red grapes, Nebbiolo is responsible for some of the greatest wines in the world. The regions of Barbaresco and Barolo, in Piedmont, Italy, create the most revered expressions of the variety and have set the benchmarks for the world over. Nebbiolo is quite light in colour, dry and delicate but packs a punch in aroma and flavour with notes of rose, tar, cherry, red berries, blood orange, licorice, leather, terracotta and earthy herbals. These wines have high acidity and high tannins, making them extremely age worthy that deepen in complexity over decades. Simply stunning wines!
