[SOLD-OUT] Jasper Hill Georgia's Paddock Nebbiolo 2018

"Our aim is to make great wine, with the preservation of nature’s flavours, complexities and balance in our wines by using minimal intervention in our vineyards and in the cellar – to allow the individual vineyard’s “terroir” or sense of place to express itself by ‘interfering’ as little as possible.

Our wines are grown, made and bottled entirely on the estate from our own organic unirrigated vineyards. We produce our own composts and have never used synthetic chemicals on either the vines or the soils, since our vineyards were planted in 1975. Our soils are derived from Cambrian period basaltic rock of 500/600 million years age. They are quite rare in the world because of their great age, particularly in Australia. Here in Heathcote they are unusually deep (up to 4 metres), rusty red coloured, well drained, gravelly loams on undulating hillsides, with good moisture retention capabilities.

Light, cherry red colour lures you into thinking a light wine to follow, but what a surprise! Apart from cherry, flavours of raspberry, red-currant and aniseed hints lead on to an extremely elegant palate that immediately hits you with the desirable Nebbiolo characteristic of mouth puckering tannin, particularly after swallowing. Lovely clean acid finish to match."
