Vintage: 2022Central Victoria, VIC ALC: 13.5% Taste explosion: incoming. Get ready for a party in your palate, with apple pie, bickford’s lime cordial and a smidge of cloves. It’s crisp, it’s dry and, yep, it lingers. That’s a whole lot of a good time, and you’ve only taken a single sip so far. Euro-inspired, Aussie rooted in Nagambie, Victoria. If you’ve had your coffee today, you might know tar and roses are signature characteristics of nebbiolo. Winemakers Narelle King and Don Lewis embodied this same sense of harmony in creating Spanish and Italian varietals with an inventive Aussie twist. Don’s legacy still lives on, with Tar and Roses focusing on the little things and quality fruit to make intense, distinctive and definitively gluggable wines.
