2023 Estate Nebbiolo
The fifth vintage of the Estate grown Nebbiolo is a showstopper! The minute you sip this wine it screams Italian – hold it up to the light and you see a combination of copper, brick, and garnet. Smell the wine and there is a lovely hint of potpourri, Italian spice and believe it or not, a touch of the dried strawberry you find in Special K cereal. On the palate we immediately sense a touch of bramble – raspberry strawberry, a bit of bright cherry, and a slight hint of funkiness. The bright acidity and the tannin are revealed on the finish – they evolve with a comfortable softness.
Pair this wine with lamb ragout, pork sausage, duck, charcuterie. Feeling adventurous try it with North African Shakshuka. Look for cheeses like burrata, full fat feta, soft triple-cream cheese, manchego, pecorino. Use sage, tarragon, black pepper, rose hip, coriander and fennel as you cook and serve with roasted garlic, shallot, truffles. The wine is unique and impressive. Drink now through 2030!
