Rowlee Single Vineyard Nebbiolo 2023, Rowlee Wines, Orange NSW. This refined cool-climate beauty from high-altitude Orange bursts with dark cherry, raspberry and thyme aromas, laced with mushroom earthiness, nutmeg spice and subtle rose floral lift. On the palate, Rowlee Single Vineyard Nebbiolo 2023 unfolds juicy fruit purity, fine grainy tannins and silky texture – savoury tar, bramble spice and bright acidity drive a long, harmonious finish that’s structured for cellaring yet dangerously approachable now.

Pair it with rich venison ragu, kangaroo, mushroom risotto or charcuterie – it’ll command your table with elegant power and Italian soul. Critics adore it: 95 points Sam Kim (Wine Orbit), 93 points WinePilot (Nicole Bilson).
