Wine ratings for Parish Hill Wines
In today's wine ratings post, I will focus on one of the wine varieties from Parish Hill Wines ... Nebbiolo. Although not as widely known as a Shiraz, Nebbiolo is an Italian red grape variety that has been around for centuries and was enjoyed by the Roman empire, dating back to 1235. Nebbiolo wines are full flavoured and can age well.
Parish Hill Wines are producing some excellent examples of the Nebbiolo wine variety, as you can see from the following medals and reviews:
Medals for the 2003 Nebbiolo
Bronze - Australian Alternative Varieties Wine Show, Nov. 2004
Bronze - Australian Small Winemakers Show 2004
The Advertiser - Adelaide - 16th March 2005
Parish Hill Piccadilly Valley Nebbiolo 2003
92 points
13.6 per cent alcohol

The mysterious, prehistoric nebbiolo comes from misty northwestern Italy - much like the hillsides where Andrew Cottel and Joy Carlisle grew this juicy, audacious number. Its fruit is like aniseed rings and blackcurrant gums; its palate sinuous and sensual; its tannin fine, perfectly drying and persistent. It's delicious with rye bread, pickled walnuts, dried figs and Adelaide Hills Blue cheese.

Mint and menthol, anise, wintergreen and peppermint edging give zip and vim to the blueberry, cherry and raspberry fruits that give this naughty nebbi its soul. Perfectly reflective of its cool, high source, just hanging out for a spell of cellar and the chance to offer neat counterpoint to something off the wall, like spicy port and taro.
