2021 Ravensworth Hilltops Nebbiolo
- From our Marketplace - Leaves warehouse in 6 to 8 days
Blend of 85/15% barbera/nebbiolo and 15% nebbiolo, left about 5 weeks on skins and aged in old barriques for 8 months. Delightfully fragrant with roses and exotic spices; flavours of dark cherries and star anise at first, plus a distinct wintergreen/bitter herbs character. It offers plenty of savouriness and tangy acidity to seal the deal. Nice one. Read more

Tasting Notes
Distinctly floral, layered with red fruit and a slight gamey twist. Quite rich palate with a long, fine tannic finish. Early days yet as these wines tend to show themselves over a long time.
