Winemaker : Kirilly Gordon
The Nebbiolo block sits half way up the North Western slope, catching all available sunshine hours. The granitic sand over granite boulders and long, slow growing season provide a very special and unique terroir.
This unique micro-climate and soil profile contribute lots of bright, fresh red fruit, aniseed, red flower perfume, and fine tannin on an acid frame.
We set out to make a fresh, crunchy, fridgeable style of nebbiolo for late summer and Autumn drinking.
Fermented with wild yeats, 50% in open fermentter and 50% on skins in a German plastic egg. Hand plunged twice a day and pressed off early to retain freshness, brightness and a lighter colour.
Bright pink in the glass with earthy and lifted perfume on the nose, the palate is bright and fresh with a high tone, good acidity and surprising soft tannins.
