Longview Saturnus Nebbiolo 2022

Longview first planted Nebbiolo in 1995 and is the leading Australian Nebbiolo winemaker. Hand harvested fruit from blocks NEB1, 3 and 10 were chosen for the Nebbiolo Saturnus. Clone 230 and Mudgee combine to make 85% of the blend, with 1-11 (15%) selected to add fragrance. Meticulous attention through the growing season and careful fruit selection with bunch and berry sorting ensures we capture fruit flavour with varietal distinction. Vinified using traditional techniques and left on skins for 12 weeks, the wine was pressed before maturation in seasoned French oak puncheons and 2500L Austrian Botti for 18 months.
