Elderslie Nebbiolo

Elderslie Nebbiolo 2021, crafted by winemaker Adam Wadewitz for his collaboration with Nicole Roberts in the Adelaide Hills, is a captivating Australian Nebbiolo that pairs floral elegance with serious savoury character. This is a red for drinkers who love perfume, precision and plenty of personality rather than sheer weight.

Rose petals, lilac and lavender lift from the glass, followed by tart red berries, cherry cola and blood plum. Mushroom and tar add intriguing savoury depth, while finely judged oak quietly supports the fruit. Integrated, sandy tannins and bright acidity give the palate definition, keeping its fragrant charm beautifully focused.

Bring the 2021 Elderslie Adelaide Hills Nebbiolo to the table with mushroom risotto, duck ragù or slow-cooked lamb shoulder. These suggested matches play to its earthy complexity and tannin structure, making it a cracking choice for a long lunch where good food and an expressive red take centre stage.
