Freeman Nebbiolo 2017
Named after the Italian word for ‘fog’ [nebbia] Nebbiolo ripens in late autumn in the NSW Hilltops when mornings are indeed often foggy.
TASTING NOTES
An intense deep ruby coloured wine marked by a distinctive varietal nose with attractive hints of rose petal and plums over earthy notes leading to a concentrated, savoury, medium-weight textural persistent palate. The flavours are rich, with underlying fruit sweetness, balancing subtle oak and a modulated tannin frame.
VINTAGE
The 2017 vintage season is acknowledged as an excellent year in the Hilltops creating intensely coloured and flavoured wines. A dry summer led into the cool, dry autumn providing ideal ripening conditions. Nebbiolo takes time to reach maturity even in the Australian climate, an ideal long, slow evolution that is the key to its seductive richness. The grapes were harvested in late April.
