Quite a challenging vineyard site, facing west, it receives the belting summer sun and often is exposed to characteristic winds of the Adelaide Hills. From the top of this vineyard in the distance, however, one can see Lake Alexandrina and the mouth of the Murray River, consequently receiving cooling evening breezes, which do much to preserve fruit acids and flavours through the critical weeks of ripening. Only 400 vines planted. We only have one clone of Nebbiolo planted - the 111 rose clone.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWinemaking:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a_GcMg font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\"\u003eA small batch of Nebbiolo was made from fully destemmed, gentle extraction by hand, wild yeast fermentation, extended maceration for\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a_GcMg font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none white-space-prewrap\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a_GcMg font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\"\u003e6 weeks, and 11 months’ maturation in one older French oak barrique.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a_GcMg font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none white-space-prewrap\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a_GcMg font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\"\u003eNo fining.

Hints of marmalade, tangerine, chocolate and Cointreau add aromatic contrast to the red fruit spectrum. Medium-bodied with a mouth-filling presence, the palate is structured and savoury, defined by grippy, characteristic Nebbiolo tannins and a gently ferrous edge. There’s a creamy strawberry note that lingers on the fruit-driven finish, offering both charm and length\u003c\/span\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClosure:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stelvin screw cap\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 13.5%\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ngeringa","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67500907823394,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/3509\/0466\/files\/Nebbiolo_2023_2.png?v=1755739235","url":"https:\/\/ngeringa.com\/products\/2024-small-batch-nebbiolo","provider":"Ngeringa ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
