Product Description:
The 2024 Jasper Hill Georgia’s Paddock Nebbiolo is a distinctive Australian expression of this noble Italian variety, grown in the ancient Cambrian soils of Heathcote, Victoria. This wine reflects both the aromatic finesse and firm structure that define Nebbiolo, while expressing the warmth and intensity of its Australian setting. In the glass, it presents a translucent crimson hue that hints at its varietal typicity and evolving complexity. Aromatically, the wine opens with lifted floral notes of rose petal and violet, layered with ripe cherry and red berry fruit. Subtle savoury elements emerge beneath the fruit, including dried herbs, earth, spice and a faint tar-like nuance. The palate is taut and energetic, driven by vibrant acidity and Nebbiolo’s signature firm tannin profile. Concentrated red fruit flavours are supported by savoury, mineral undertones that add depth and seriousness. The 2024 vintage balances power and restraint, offering both immediate interest and clear cellaring potential. This is a structured, characterful wine that rewards careful pairing and patient aging.
