Description
Crafted by Chris Catlow, one of Beechworth's most exciting winemakers, this Nebbiolo is all about capturing the subtleties of site and vintage.
It’s wonderfully aromatic: Red Delicious apples, Earl Grey tea, and a hint of those nostalgic purple wine gums. The palate follows with a burst of juicy red fruit upfront, but it’s the structure that truly shines. The tannins are fine and precise, lending the wine its backbone and an impressive sense of direction, taking you on a journey from the first sip to a long, elegant finish.
Sourced from a south-facing vineyard at 450 metres, planted on shale soils, this Nebbiolo benefits from a cool aspect that helps preserve freshness, giving the wine its ethereal edge. Chris’s hand in the cellar is gentle but assured—every decision geared towards preserving the natural character of the grapes, from harvest on April 7th to bottling.
Already compelling now, this Nebbiolo will reward those with the patience to cellar it. It’s a wine with intent, offering finesse and a layered complexity that unveils itself with time in the glass.

"This is so pretty!.. This is an exciting wine here. It's ashy, almost. Super."

"A wonderful juxtaposition here between nebbiolo florals, fruit and tannin/acidity... a wine that the longer it is open, the more it reveals layer upon layer of quiet intensity. Give it the time it needs."

"I looked at this over the course of a day and it became firmer and firmer without losing its freshness. It’a delightful wine; it’s an impressive one too."
- Campbell Mattinson (The Wine Front)
