VINEYARD
Just a quarter of a hectare of Nebbiolo is planted in the Angove Family’s Angels Rise
Vineyard that sits high above the small town of Clarendon with an elevation of over 280m
above sea level. Whilst still located within the region of McLaren Vale, its climate is quite
unique due to its elevation and aspect. A cool site and just a stone’s throw from the Adelaide
Hills means it is an exceptional vineyard for producing distinctive wines.
VINTAGE
Good winter and early spring rains were followed by a generally dry and temperate
growing season. Mild conditions during flowering, particularly for the later ripening varieties,
resulted in good fruit set. Canopies developed well and were balanced with yields sitting
around the long-term average. We started harvest in early February and finished mid-April.
Slow and steady ripening, without excessive heat events, resulted in superb varietal fruit
intensity with balanced natural acidity and fine tannin structures.
WINEMAKING
Crafted with precision and respect for Nebbiolo’s delicate nature, the grapes were
harvested in mid-March to capture the optimal balance of ripeness and acidity. After a
gentle destemming, the grapes underwent a traditional fermentation in small open-top
fermenters, where the wine was allowed to macerate on the skins for eight and a half months
to extract the variety’s signature aromatics and structure.
The wine was basket pressed to a single St Martin French oak Hogshead for to soften
Nebbiolo’s firm tannins and add complexity to the wine’s character. This oak ageing allows
the fruit and oak to integrate harmoniously while retaining the grape’s unique personality.
TASTING NOTE
Aromas of dried rose petals, ripe red cherries, and a delicate hint of tar are gracefully
intertwined with subtle earthy notes, evoking a sense of terroir. The palate embraces
with an elegant structure, showcasing the varietal’s characteristic high acidity and firm
tannins. Flavours of sun-ripened raspberries and wild strawberries dance on the tongue,
complemented by a distinct undercurrent of truffle and forest floor, providing a glimpse of
Nebbiolo’s unique expression of the land. The finish is long, leaving a lingering memory of
dried fruit, a whisper of tobacco leaf, and a gentle mineral edge that adds a final touch of
finesse.
