Wine Front 94 Points!


"Nebbiolo from Hilltops, NSW. Source of Grove Estate. Whole berry ferments, in wooden vats, spend eight months on skins. Then pressed out and into Stockinger, large format oak for 14 months. Serious handling.


Sweet spice, pepper, clove and cinnamon, dark cherry and some herbal detail. A serious kind of vibe to kick off. Shows some flesh but quickly takes you to tannin town. Firm wreaths shoulder the cherry and amaro flavours, a good dusting of spice follows on from the chew. There’s a modern feel to it, but all that savouriness and succulent, fine acidity shows you what’s what. Top notch."


Mike Bennie, Wine Front, May 2018


 

Distinctly floral, layered with red fruit and a slight gamey twist. Quite rich palate with a long, fine tannic finish. Early days yet as these wines tend to show themselves over a long time. Nebb’s are like food mecca for dishes involving game and savoury, umami rich food. Slow cooked hare, truffle infused pasta, roasted cauliflower with a black garlic sauce. Wild mushroom risotto with a splash of the wine in the rice. Think rustic, full flavoured gamey dishes and partner up with a Nebb.
