The 2021 Ros Ritchie Nebbiolo is an elegant cool-climate red from Victoria's Upper Goulburn region, showcasing this classic Italian variety with freshness and finesse. The nose is fragrant with aromas of rose petal, violet and sour cherry, complemented by subtle spice, dried herbs and earthy notes that become more expressive with time in the glass.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with vibrant natural acidity and the firm, fine-grained tannins that are characteristic of Nebbiolo. Flavours of red cherry, cranberry and redcurrant are layered with hints of tobacco, dried flowers and savoury spice, leading to a long, dry finish with excellent structure and ageing potential.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, the 2021 Ros Ritchie Nebbiolo is an excellent choice for those looking to explore a cool-climate Australian expression of this renowned Italian variety. It pairs beautifully with osso buco, slow-braised lamb, mushroom risotto, game dishes or aged hard cheeses. Enjoy now with decanting, or cellar confidently over the next 8–10 years as its savoury complexity and tannins continue to evolve.
