2016 Giaconda Nantua Nebbiolo

A high-toned wine with lifted aromatics of rose petals and red fruits. The fun starts from the very first sip on your senses with all the hallmarks of this variety.

Intense red fruits and savoury characters, charged with super-fine tannins and a subtle backbone of acidity.

Having such depth and impact for a second crop, the mind boggles as to what will present itself when vine maturity kicks in!

Alcohol: 14.0% ,Cellaring: 3-10 years, Blend: Nebbiolo (100%) from Beechworth

"Floral and dried herb notes emerge in the glass. It's very firm and drying in the mouth, the tannins really taking over. The flavour is intense and long-lasting. It's very good, but difficult to drink alone and demands protein in the form of meat or cheese." Huon Hooke
