Tasting Notes
100% Chardonnay from the Barbaresco zone of the Langhe, which is pretty unusual. The wine is rich and round and old school. Whole bunch pressed, and fermented spontaneously in barrel. Aged on lees for 10 months in a combination of new and old Burgundian coopered oak. Bottled without fining or filtration. - Chris L
Dave Fletcher is the under-the-radar Aussie winemaker, producing some of our favourite Nebbiolos from Australia and Piedmont. Not a bad achievement! Dave's love for Nebbiolo pushed him to seek a harvest gig at Ceretto, one of the top producers in the Barolo region of Piedmont. Years of hard work in the cellar paid off and now Dave is in charge of all red wine production at this famed estate, as well as creating his very own eponymous label.
His wines range from beautifully gentle, contemplative expressions of Nebbiolo, to more modern, vibrant wines such as his Barbera, made in a similar style to the wines of Beaujolais. He even makes a skin contact blend of Arneis and Moscato - a style rarely seen in the region.
We get modest amounts of his wines each year and have recently received his latest Italian Nebbiolo offering.
