Tasting Notes - Scaffidi One Tree Hill Nebbiolo 2003 (Recommended)

Adelaide Plains based outfit, new us here at Cloudwine. Vibrant ruby red in the glass, ‘light’ looking. Quite varietal on the nose, savoury, dried herbs, subtle, yet has a intense edge. Power and weight steps up a notch in the palate driven by liquered berries with a dry savoury undertone. Tannins are quite pronounced, furry and mouthcoating. This wine shows great balance b/w old world Neb (serious structure) and new world fruitiness. Well worth a try, a fantastic Australian interpretation and a good entry point to real Neb.
