Patrick Underwood Chalmers Nebbiolo 2023 (12 Bottles) Heathcote, VIC

Patrick Underwood's Chalmers Nebbiolo from Central Victoria's ancient Cambrian soils surges with alpine elegance, the first crop from Chalmers Nursery's new planting that pulses with iron-rich intensity and high-elevation thrill. This whole-bunch wild-fermented rocket, foot-crushed then oak-aged, explodes with taut purity from Heathcote's cool frontier. Wild cherry, rose petal and alpine herb aromas burst with tarry spice, plunging into a structured light-bodied palate of fine tannins and vibrant acid that electrifies with endless grip.
