[SOLD-OUT] Nocturne Rose 2021

 

"Light, fine and expressive but with phenolic crunch and freshness which is very grown up. At 74% Sangiovese is the hero of this wine, backed up with 17% barrel-fermented Nebbiolo. Then we chucked in 9% Tempranillo, too. Not sure why - just had it and it worked - and, as in the past, don’t tell anyone as it hasn’t made the label but it helped make the wine! This wine is fine, ethereally light and delicious - so much so that you need to remind yourself it’s not just exceptionally tasty spring water. 

This wine is, in keeping with the theme of SR3, epic. The texture and acid structure are impeccable but it’s all about extreme drinkability. Those who miss out on a magnum of this for their summer “A” list super yacht regattas hold their vinous credentials cheap. It is, as always, a pale salmon dream." - Nocturne

 

"Spicy, peppery, dried herb and floral perfume, white cherry and pink grapefruit. It’s dry with a grainy and chalky grip, subtle but engaging flavour profile, a coolness to acidity, and a dusty finish of crunch and excellent length, a little amaro tang in the aftertaste. Texture is a highlight in this high cheekboned style of rosato." - Gary Walsh
