Musk Lane Nebula Nebbiolo

Musk Lane 'Nebula' Nebbiolo 2021 offers a complex bouquet of floral red fruits, leather, and earth, balanced by fine tannins and crisp acidity, reflecting the unique terroir of the Pyrenees.

Location: Malakoff Vineyard, Pyrenees, Victoria, Australia
Wine making / farming techniques: Sourced from high-elevation Pyrenees fruit; hand-harvested; wild ferment with partial whole bunch for lifted aromatics; gentle maceration to manage Nebbiolo’s tannin structure; aged in seasoned oak to retain fruit purity; minimal intervention in the winery.
Style/body: Medium-bodied, structured, and savoury with a fine tannin profile and bright natural acidity.
Notes: A perfumed and poised Nebbiolo, showing both delicacy and structure. Red cherry and cranberry meet floral tones of rose and violet, underpinned by earthy spice, dried herbs, and a faint tar-like nuance. The palate balances juicy red fruit brightness with fine, chalky tannins and a long, mineral finish.
Descriptors: Red cherry, cranberry, rose petal, violet, dried herbs, spice, earth, tar, fine tannins.
Pairing suggestions: Osso buco with saffron risotto, wild mushroom pappardelle, or aged cheeses such as pecorino or taleggio.
