A lovely red wine which feels surprisingly light for it's 14.3% ABV, and extremely well balanced. It shows that superb Nebbiolo characteristic so well - a rose floral, cherry and tobacco aroma with a splattering of turkish delight. Good punchy fruit, with subtle oak influence and little flashes of vanilla flavors. This is a fantastic wine, made extremely well, and is superb example of Nebbiolo (Barolo and Barbaresco wines) outside of Italy.
The fruit is sourced from the Protero vineyard in Adelaide Hills.
