It has aromas of rose petal and cherry as a younger wine, with bright acidity and fine, evident tannins that give it structure, length and the ability to age beautifully.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a wine for people who enjoy Italian reds, food-friendly structure and watching a bottle evolve over time. As it matures, the fresh rose petal and cherry characters will soften and move towards more savoury anise notes. It is lovely now with the right meal, and will mature comfortably until 2040.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWine details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVintage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Alpine Valleys, Victoria\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVariety\/style:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nebbiolo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ringer Reef Winery\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrown\/made by:\u003c\/strong\u003e Holm family, Porepunkah\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAlcohol:\u003c\/strong\u003e 13.6%\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBody:\u003c\/strong\u003e Medium\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSweetness:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dry\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAcidity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bright\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTannin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Evident but fine\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rose petal, cherry, spice, fine tannin, developing anise with age\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWinemaking:\u003c\/strong\u003e Matured in lightly toasted oak, allowing the wine to show more of what the Nebbiolo grapes contribute rather than strong oak flavour\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBest served:\u003c\/strong\u003e At room temperature\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood pairing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Slow-cooked lamb, beef ragu, mushroom risotto, roast pork, hard cheese, savoury rich dishes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOccasion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Special dinners, cellar-worthy gifts, Italian wine lovers, slow meals with good food, opening as a matured wine\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCellaring:\u003c\/strong\u003e Enjoy now with food, or cellar comfortably until 2040\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBottle size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePrice:\u003c\/strong\u003e $35 AUD\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBest for\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis wine is a good choice if you are looking for:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ea dry Australian Nebbiolo\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ea medium-bodied red wine from the Alpine Valleys\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ea Victorian red wine for ageing\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ea food-friendly red wine with fine tannins\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ean Australian alternative for people who enjoy Italian reds\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ea cellar-worthy red wine under $40\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ea wine to serve with slow-cooked lamb, beef ragu or mushroom risotto\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ea structured red from a small family-run winery in Porepunkah\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFAQs\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this Nebbiolo dry or sweet?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a dry Nebbiolo with bright acidity, fine tannins and aromas of rose petal and cherry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does this Nebbiolo taste like?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs a younger wine, it has rose petal and cherry aromas, with spice, bright acidity and fine tannins.
