The fruit for this wine is taken from ‘Home Block’ which is the vineyards around the house. 13% abv, 80% Nebbiolo, 10% Croatina, 10% Vespolina and 36 months in bottle. A dusty old oak nuance blends with decayed red florals, dried lavender, red cherry, roast tomato umami, balsamic and subtle cut leather. There’s a lovely cooling feel to the palate, with no forfeiture of flavour intensity and concentration. Lavender, cherry, ferrous, balsamic are braced by fine tannins and cooling acid that draw it long. This is ethereal and bright, while substantive and powerful. Excellent.
