2022 Abbeville, Nebbiolo
This 100% Nebbiolo from Longview Vineyard’s Block 16, at 390m altitude delivers a darker profile than the 2021 release with fine tannins. Hand destemmed and left on skins for 28 days, before being aged for 20 months in 15-year-old French puncheons before bottling in January 2024. A beautifully punchy and structured Nebbiolo crafted from premium Longview fruit.
