2017 Domenica Nebbiolo, Beechworth

Rich medium red. The nose initially displays plums, violets, allspice, and black pepper, along with the dusty earth character typical of Beechworth’s granitic soils. On aeration, the aroma deepens, and bacon fat begins to emerge, becoming more prominent as the wine opens. The palate is food friendly: long and elegant, medium bodied, with structured acidity, and ripe, unobtrusive tannins. Decanting is highly recommended.

The fruit is crushed and destemmed, and fermented in concrete, for between three and six weeks, dependant on the wine and the season. Maturation is in a traditional wooden botti of 1600 litres capacity. A long maturation between two and three years is required to allow the tannin to soften, and the intense, bright fruit to deepen, and allow some of the secondary, more subtle aromas and flavours to shine through.
'Dark cherry, aniseed, violet, sandalwood and tea, or something like that. Medium-bodied, airy sort of feel in the mouth, but full of brick dust tannin, blood orange, liquorice and spice run on a long tannic finish. Has a classic feel about it. Rust and beautiful decay. No compromise. No prisoners. You’d be hard pressed to find a better Nebbiolo at the price. Drink : 2021 - 2030+'
