Australian Wine Companion – Virago Nebbiolo 2014

James Halliday, August 2018

Australian Wine Companion gave our 2014 Virago Nebbiolo a 94 rating.

"James Halliday, 1st August 2019 Australian Wine Companion gave our 2015 Virago Nebbiolo a 95 rating. "The perfumed bouquet has temple spices and incense, rose petals and more. The palate is quite exceptional in its wondrous line of dark, blood-red, flavours, leather and undergrowth. Yet above all this there is the sour cherry/morello cherry and firm,..."
"James Halliday, August 2018 Australian Wine Companion gave our 2014 Virago Nebbiolo a 94 rating. "
"Pinot-like Nebbiolo with glacé cherry and mint... if this is a second label it just makes you excited about the future... Would I buy it? Sure would. 91/100"
"The overall impression is one of juiciness, energy and delicacy; reminiscent of a fine-boned pinot noir. 95/100"
"Interjected by tangy dark cherry that dries the mouth and prepares you for the next sip, the finish has a touch of kirsch liquor with blackberry and background oak adding dimension and contrast to the wines more savoury notes. 93/100"
"An elegant, textural and moreish wine that enjoys the interplay between juicy acidity, touches of baking spice... and a considerable, crunchy, dark berry fruited finish. 95/100"
"Complex and forceful at once. It sits in broody judgement as it rests in the glass – or so it seems. Impressive. 92/100"
"It tastes of leather and campfire, dark cherry and crushed, decaying roses... As a four-year-old this nebbiolo shows signs of development, and is excellent drinking now... 91/100"
"What matters is the most attractive red cherry/ berry palate, and the balance and length of the wine. 94/100"
"There is the sense of artistry in producing Nebbiolo. I firmly believe that Nebbiolo is the next journey of discovery in wine in Australia."
"What was more surprising was how impressive the Nebbiolos are..."
