Brokenwood's exploration beyond their home in the Hunter Valley led them to the cooler, alpine-influenced regions of Victoria, where Italian varieties like Nebbiolo thrive. This Nebbiolo Rosato showcases a modern Australian interpretation of a classic Italian style. Nebbiolo, famous for its role in Piedmont's structured reds, is harvested early for this rosé to retain its high natural acidity and delicate red-fruit aromas. The wine undergoes brief skin contact to achieve its signature pale salmon hue, followed by cool fermentation to preserve its vibrant, savory, and floral character. It represents Brokenwood's innovative spirit, blending traditional European grape varieties with contemporary Australian winemaking.
