Protero Adelaide Hills Nebbiolo 2021
£32.99
"There aren’t many places outside Piemonte where Nebbiolo has translocated well, but this vineyard is one of those places.” A bold claim from winemaker Stephen Pannell, but one backed by evidence - in a blind tasting alongside a selection of Barolo wines, this wine managed to fool sommeliers into thinking it Italian!
On the nose, this wine is highly perfumed and brooding, with deep dark cherry notes, sweet red berries, fresh leather, and faint hints of citrus peel. On the palate, it is vibrant and lively, with flavours of fresh raspberry and plum, flowing into surprising umami notes, and finishing with light citrus and florals. The fine, firm tannins elongate the mid-palate, and lead to a long, elegant finish.
