The 2021 TarraWarra Estate Nebbiolo is a refined and structured cool-climate red from the Yarra Valley, showcasing a modern Australian take on this classic Italian variety. Crafted from estate fruit and matured in seasoned French oak, it emphasises perfume, structure and ageing potential.The nose is lifted and complex, offering rose petal, redcurrant and cherry, layered with spice, dried herbs and subtle savoury notes of smoked meat.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with a fine, tightly structured texture. Bright red fruit and spice are driven by firm, grippy tannins and fresh acidity, leading to a long, savoury and structured finish. The style is elegant and age-worthy, highlighting classic Nebbiolo character with precision and balance.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a standout alternative red for customers seeking something more structured and savoury than Pinot Noir. Ideal for those exploring Italian varieties in an Australian style. Drink now with decanting or cellar for 8–12+ years. Perfect with slow-cooked meats, lamb or mushroom dishes.
