South by South West Margaret River Nebbiolo 2021

AT FIRST SIP-Familiar Neb nose but with a tantalising sense of novelty here. Bright red  cherry, redcurrant, tamarillo and cacao. A tickle of white pepper, underbrush and dried violets skirts around the fruit. The palate exudes freshness with the tell-tale Nebbiolo grip present but all elements in balance. AFTER A FEW-all about that treble with these harmonious Nebbiolo tones.

About This Wine

Sourced from a single vineyard in Wilyabrup, the fruit is then crushed, destemmed into open stainless steel for fermentation. Pressed to older Hogsheads to preserve the stunning nature of the fruit. The wine spends 12 months in barrel before being bottled. This is a beautiful argument for Nebbiolo in the region with aromatics quite unlike other typical examples from around the country, ready to drink now yet this will improve for another 5 years easy. 

Reviews;

93 Points – James Halliday Wine Companion

This is a rare expression of Margaret River Nebbiolo due to the relative scarcity of the variety within the region and our aim was to showcase the high-toned brightness and vibrancy of fruit whilst still integrating complexity and interest through structure and developed tannins to create an earlier, approachable Nebbiolo thoughtfully balanced with sweetness, savouriness and ultimately freshness.

The smallest wine region in Australia yet responsible for a huge proportion of the country's premium wines. World class Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon are found throughout the region as well as some fantastic new curios.
Talented duo Mij and Liv have created South by South West, a ‘meandering negociant’ in Margaret River. They started SxSW in 2016 after vintages in Napa, Okanagan and importantly; Italy. 

 

Though Liv is from Margaret River and has a love for it, the duo aren't held hostage by the prestigious sub-region. They chase excellent fruit all over Western Australia, keeping a keen eye out for Italian varieties in particular. The contracts they have with their growers stipulate that the pair take over managing the vineyard each vintage from the point of veraison onwards. 

Their simple (yet effective) recipe of great fruit and minimal intervention produces exciting results full of charm and a certain Italian energy.
