2006 Morello Nebbiolo
Comments
Colour is mid red with a brick hue. The nose is lifted with complex characters of dampened earth, soy, some florals, dried herbs and a hint of vegemite. The palate is medium bodied and in the savoury spectrum with hints of sour cherry, sweet spices and dried herbs. There is good balanced acidity as Italian style wines should have, which combine with the savoury fruit to give a rich mouthfeel. The wines finishes with chalky tannins and fruit.
Winemaking
Grapes picked at optimum ripeness from our St Kitts Vineyard, in a few different batches. The grapes are then crushed, destemmed and fermented in small open fermenters using natural yeast. Some parcels are left on skins for up to three weeks, other parcels are pressed when dryness is reached.
Maturation
All pressed wine goes into old hogheads where it matures for at least 24 months. The wine is then racked out of barrel and the wine is bottled unfiltered.
Vintage
2006 Vintage had a mild and long ripening season. These conditions favoured the accumulation of intense colour and flavours in the red grapes.
