Traviarti Black Springs Nebbiolo 2023
$60.00
Traviarti’s Simon Grant helped establish this vineyard, which will no doubt be a source of great Nebbiolo. Considering how young the vines are, this is remarkable. Very aromatic, indeed more so than the estate wine, with crushed roses, compote of English summer fruits, pickled beetroot and ruby grapefruit. Gorgeous open palate, shaped like the draw of a longbow, with a vein of acidity present from the first tangy red fruits to the close of finessed tannins. And it is tannic, but they are so beautiful and harmonised with lashings of fruit and baking spices you almost don’t notice. Seriously complex, the flavours begin to un-weave in the glass, with darker hedge fruits, tensioned by cherry cola, aniseed, fresh compost and citrus twang. Total bargain! Norris at Waters Wine Co
We established Black Springs vineyard on a friends property at 450 metres on decomposed granite from 2016. Planted to both Chardonnay and Nebbiolo, it’s proving an exceptional site. 2023 is the first vintage kept separate as the maturity of the block has developed (Chardonnay is also Black Springs just forgot to put it on the label).
Crushed, destemmed, fermented without inoculation in concrete fermenters before being raised in ceramic eggs. Without the interference of oak you see both the purity of fruit and the plush unadorned tannin framework. Intense, silky and harmonious. It has many years ahead of it. Simon Grant – Winemaker

Massolino Barolo 2019
$110.00Out of Stock
“The 2019 Barolo is a very serious wine. Readers looking for an easygoing, entry-level Barolo will not find that here. Bright and sizzling with tannin, the 2019 is going to need at least a few years to fully come together. Crushed rocks, red/purplish fruit and dried flowers emerge with some coaxing, but this is really […]

Jasper Hill Georgia’s Paddock Nebbiolo 2023
$70.00From 1993 plantings in Georgia’s Paddock. A tiny production wine of great singularity and classicism, it’s hard to imagine such a fine nebbiolo coming from such an inhospitable a place as Heathcote. Fragrant with a compote of red fruits and sweet and savoury spice. Intense, with a wonderful attack of tannin, fruit and acid. The […]

Quinta Do Noval LBV Unfiltered 2017
$75.00One of the best LBV’s tasted in a long time. I often find them losing a little bit of freshness and bitter notes too apparent. Not a bit of it here, however! Oozing aromatics of blackcurrant, blackberry, mulberry, black cherry, prunes, dates, violets and mint. Luscious and full bodied, some clove and cinnamon, the spice […]
