2021 Little Reddie Colbinabbin Sparkling Nebbiolo

WINEMAKER: Pat Underwood
REGION: Heathcote, VIC
VARIETAL: Nebbiolo
VITICULTURE: Sustainable

Extremely fine bead. Gorgeous bronze to a very pale apricot hue. Dried roses, sherbet, nettle and lemon rind aroma. The palate has wild energy - the first thing I notice is the acidity which anchors like a javelin very deep in the palate, a taut line strung along the tongue to the front of the mouth where little strawberries and tart blackberries hang out. There’s a creaminess throughout, zaps of acidity cut the cream up and down. It's a wine about long shape and texture and small berries. There is an overriding sense of rust and iron. It’s very pretty, very Colbinabbin and very delicious.
