Steenberg Nebbiolo 2010 - SOLD OUT

This medium bodied Nebbiolo is light in colour with aromas of dried prunes and apricots, perfume, spice and potpourri on the nose. Soft oaky notes support the wine well and add weight to the finish. Big tannins, unique to Nebbiolo, give the wine backbone and structure. Earthy notes on the aftertaste and a good acidity.

Earthy notes on the aftertaste and a good acidity makes this wine a great food wine, but it is extremely well complemented by any form of mushrooms and truffles.
