Continuing today's Neb trend with an Aussie! One of the best the country has to offer. #FilthyGoodVino Beautiful poise, layering & texture. Is it Barolo, no, is it good, hell yes! As @winematters would say, celebrate the difference. Grown next to the Talc Hill Vineyard in the Adelaide Hills with incredibly complex geology and an altitude greater than 450m. The mix of all, I think, 7 clones of Neb is likely the last wine to be pressed in Australia each year. The name "Lunga Macerazione" translates to Long Maceration referring to the 72 days the wine spends on skins. To put that in perspective most red wine wouldn't spend more than 14 days on skins. The impact on the structure of the wine is profound. The core of fruit, yummy! — 10 years ago
