Wine Front 95 Points!
If you’re into the new wave of true fine wine producers of Australia you should be onto, should get onto, Domenica. Classics in the making. Rising high. Peter Graham got schooled (partly) at the great Giaconda winery in Beechworth. This is where he struts his own stuff. Single vineyard wine sent to large format oak to rest a while. It’s impressive.
Whoa. This set me back in the seat. Close your eyes and you’re somewhere-or-other in Barolo, open them and the brickish bronzing of garnet colour is there in glass. No aping Italy, but the DNA of the homeland of the variety is there. Those tannins. I’ll stutter. Those tannins. Sheets, rippling, firm, corduroy-charry waves of chew that start from front and build to back then soften and dry things. There’s rose petals, tobacco, pot pourri, light red cherry character and tobacco, gum leaf and earth, all through an impressive succulent length… but those tannins. Far out, this is very good.
Mike Bennie, Wine Front, August 2016
The single acre of nebbiolo is grown in a cool, protected southerly pocket on the corner of shale at the southern end off the property. This soil holds more water than the granite, allowing the typically large canopy to maintain its integrity throughout the summer, usually without supplementary irrigation. Tiny yields of three or four bunches per vine develop the intensity of fruit required to make nebbiolo with beautiful structure, and a deep complex core of ripe fruit. 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.
