Halliday’s Wine Companion 2021

"Virago nebbiolo is made by Rick Kinzbrunner (Giaconda) along traditional Italian lines, incorporating wild fermentation, basket pressing and approximately 3 years maturation in 1600L Gamba oval casks. An excellent year on full display, giving rise to a dark and brooding nebbiolo of wild rosemary, thyme, saltbush, incense, black cherry and mandarin skin. A most complex..."

Melbourne International Wine Competition 2020

"Virago had a good showing at the MIWC this year, with our 2016 Nebbiolo receiving a gold medal, our La Mistura 2018 receiving a bronze medal, and Virago winning the Nebbiolo Winery of 2020 Award. "

Melbourne International Wine Competition 2019

"Our 2014 Nebbiolo received a silver medal, and the 2015 Nebbiolo received a bronze medal at the 2019 Melbourne International Wine Competition "

Australian Wine Companion – Virago Nebbiolo 2015

"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, but..."

Australian Wine Companion – Virago Nebbiolo 2014

"James Halliday, August 2018 Australian Wine Companion gave our 2014 Virago Nebbiolo a 94 rating. "

Oz Wine Review – Virago Nebbiolos

"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"

Australian Wine Companion – La Mistura Nebbiolo 2013

"The overall impression is one of juiciness, energy and delicacy; reminiscent of a fine-boned pinot noir. 95/100"

Wine Reviewer – Virago Nebbiolo 2012

"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"

Wine Reviewer – Virago Nebbiolo 2011

"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"

The Winefront – Virago Nebbiolo 2011

"Complex and forceful at once. It sits in broody judgement as it rests in the glass – or so it seems. Impressive. 92/100"

The Winefront – Virago La Mistura Nebbiolo 2013

"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"

Australian Wine Companion – Virago Nebbiolo 2011

"What matters is the most attractive red cherry/ berry palate, and the balance and length of the wine. 94/100"

Nebbiolo – Lifting the Fog

"There is the sense of artistry in producing Nebbiolo. I firmly believe that Nebbiolo is the next journey of discovery in wine in Australia."

Beechworth and other exciting Australians

"What was more surprising was how impressive the Nebbiolos are..."
