The 2021 Nebbiolo is the first wine made since the block was replanted in 2017. This wine has the typical rose and smoked meat aromas, the finely- fruited palate driven home by a tannin grip. It needs time in the glass or decanting to reveal itself and will benefit from cellaring. The north-west aspect and clay loam soils of the K block are perfect for this variety. Warm days ripening the grapes and producing the full tar flavours and a firm tannin structure. Always the last variety into the winery, as it is late ripening, but we are always so excited to see it arrive! This wine sells out quickly from our cellar door and restaurant as it’s the perfect wine for your slow cooked meats and our favourite home cooked dishes that we enjoy in Autumn

A long north-west facing block with shollow grey or brown soils over yellow friable clay.The northerly aspect allows for ideal conditions for this late- ripening variety.

2021 was a textbook vintage. The spring weather was even with rainfall at the right intervals for flowering resulting in excellent fruit set. The growing season from December through to February was also very even with excellent ripening weather. As a result sugar and flavour development occurred slowly and simultaneously. The yields were of an average size and excellent quality with a strong expression of the  site.

Fermented in an open foudre, matured over 16 months in old French Oak puncheons.
