It's the vineyard that Peter Godden poured his heart and soul into, with the steadfast aim of producing Australia's best Nebbiolo. We're talking 10 different clones of Nebbiolo, interplanted at 5% to Barbera - on amazing calcareous clay - quite literally, an open-cut talc mine. In 2012, we were able to prune it back, and each year we've taken the fruit; hand-picking it with our own team. It's graced the original Truffle Hound, Exocarpus, Pastafarian - but in 2022 - the fruit was such a high quality, and in such tiny amounts - we thought it best to keep aside, just to see what extra elevage could achieve. Achieve, it did. Our first release of 'Gumeracha'. An Australian Nebbiolo we're proud of, and a culmination of a decade of hard work.
