Pale to mid Ruby. Aromas of rose petals, menthol and liquorice. Low on fruit influences at this age - very savoury. An excellent rendition of a new world Nebbiolo - from Tingha on the New England tableland in northern NSW - most of the neighbours would be sheep and cattle graziers. This winery makes brilliant Gewurztraminer - one of the best in the country IMO. A very boutique winery with a small production. Sadly Toppers suffered from a devastating bushfire earlier this year which will take some recovery time.

Dec 5th, 2019Mid crimson with some transparency - the appearance of a red burgundy. Aromas of tar and rose petals with licorice/aniseed. Aromatic and savoury together - not a lot of fruit on the palate. A good food wine and a good rendition of a new world Nebbiolo - not unlike a Langhe Rosso.
