"Australia’s premier nebbiolo, one could reason ably. 

 

It’s hard to separate this wine from any great nebbiolo’s in the world with its firm, ribbons of tannin, sour cherry acidity, lean, reserved feel and suggestions of earth, tar, char, dried flowers. It’s a beautiful, charismatic drink, structured, complex, lean and intense, with a reserved nature that grows and builds as time and air and space happen around the wine. The tannins are glorious, sticking under gums and yet compact and precise as the wine is sipped on. It’s perfumed as all get out too. A wine celebrating definitive character of the variety, drinkability, reserve and potential – it’s kept off higher praise as it’s length is just shy of full at present. Wonderful wine."

"Yarra Valley Nebbiolo, fermented using wild yeast and held on skins for 20 days before pressing and maturation in large format (2000 litre) French and Slovonian oak barrels. Bottled without fining or filtration. Decant before serving."

"It's been almost a decade since Lambert's daring, handcrafted and joyously aromatic wines first made their way down from the Valley and on to the lists and shelves of Melbourne's finest wine establishments (and a few of Sydney’s). Since that time we have notched up our fair share of Luke's artisanal fare - plenty of that perfumed, floral and ferrous Syrah as well as that mind blowing Nebbiolo of his (which is now reaching extraordinary heights)."
