Coming from a mix of clones with a north-west aspect on the property, the fruit achieves great ripeness, and the 2021 vintage was a corker. With lashings of red cherry, smoke, plum and dried herbs on the nose, the Nebb shows lovely balance on the palate, hiding the alcohol behind layers of flavour, while the tannins are refined and well integrated. I think it’s still yet to reach its peak, and once the tertiary characters become more prominent, it will highlight why we should be seeing more Nebb in the valley.
