Protero Adelaide Hills Nebbiolo Australia 75cl

Protero 2021 Nebbiolo is a superbly medium-bodied red wine from the Adelaide Hills region of Australia. The Protero Vineyard is home to a unique style of Nebbiolo, sourced from a small block originally planted in 1999. The wine has deep, dark cherry notes, sweet red berries, fresh leather, and hints of citrus peel. At the winery 75% of the fruit was fermented in stainless steel and 25% in old oak. 

Protero tells a fascinating story of survival in the face of adversity. Stephen and Fiona Pannell purchased the Adelaide Hills vineyard, ‘Protero’, in late 2019. Within days, it was surrounded by the second major bushfire to have threatened the region this century. Ultimately, the vineyard survived this horrendous wildfire, and the courage of those who fearlessly defended it inspired Stephen and Fiona. As Stephen himself said, “we are moved by the bravery behind the history of this vineyard. Our own small act of courage is to try and invest in this special place with a new sense of potential.”
