Denton Shed Nebbiolo 2023

The Nebbiolo block sits half way up the North Western slope, catching all available sunshine hours. The granitic sand over granite boulders and long, slow growing season provide a very special and unique terroir. This unique micro-climate and soil profile contribute lots of bright, fresh red fruit, aniseed, red flower perfume, and fine tannin on an acid frame. We set out to make a fresh, crunchy, fridgeable style of nebbiolo for late summer and Autumn drinking. Fermented with wild yeats, 50% in open fermenter and 50% on skins in a German plastic egg. Hand plunged twice a day and pressed off early to retain freshness, brightness and a lighter colour. Bright pink in the glass with earthy and lifted perfume on the nose, the palate is bright and fresh with a high tone, good acidity and surprising soft tannins.
