Vineyard 28 Again With Top Aussie Nebbiolo!
Once again, Vineyard 28 has topped Australia’s Nebbiolo community. Year after year, this husband and wife winery in Geographe (about an hour south of Perth) in Western Australia, continues to dominate the Italian varieties scene in Australia. Their Nebbiolo is stunning, as Young Gun of Wine once again named it the best in the entire country.
This is what they said of Vineyard 28’s Nebbiolo:
“This wine topped the tasting for Merrison, with Kaigg-Hoxley, Grant, Saturno, Nadeson, Ryan, Lange also including it in their top-six lists. “Very light appearance in the glass, with nervy, lifted aromatics and lovely notes of cherry spice,” noted Saturno.
Merrison noted: “A delicately enticing nose that promises good things. A springlike bouquet at first, with delicate red floral notes and bright fruits: pomegranate and raspberry with some strawberry compote, hedgerow and hazelnut accents.
Lovely purity on a palate that builds well with fresh, pulsing sweet fruit through the middle offset by calmly assertive acid and tannin structure. Emerging, sneaky length. Lovely clean stone, spice and pippy fruit finish.” “Quite fine boned and detailed,” added Grant.
“Chalkiness of tannin feels super harmonious.” Kaigg-Hoxley wrote: “The palate opens to show wild strawberry, black cherry and some familiar – almost Campari-like characters – moving into a more medicinal profile. There is a sweetness here and also a clear spicy, herbal edge which provides refreshing balance and bitterness. Lots of pepper on the finish, with mouthwatering acidity and concentrated, ripe fruit profile. Really lively example, that is not afraid to lean into the rustic, structural elements of nebbiolo as a variety.” “The finish is persistent and aromatic, with lingering echoes of black tea leaves and a touch of exotic spices,” added Nadeson, “A refined and distinctive wine with elegance and depth.”
