Tasting Notes
Appearance
Cherry red with light, delicate hues and brilliant clarity, displaying the characteristic pale colour of this thin-skinned variety, reflecting the quality of this exceptional 2024 Pyrenees Nebbiolo from Tar & Roses.
Aroma
Fresh cherries and cranberry intertwine in this young wine, beautifully complemented by dried herb, rose, anise and earthy clay notes. A touch of kirsch adds complexity to this sophisticated aromatic profile, reflecting the balanced crop level and even ripening achieved on the granite gravel-tempered Pyrenees vineyard.
Palate
Fine, structured tannins and fresh acidity define this flagship Nebbiolo, supporting the vibrant fresh cherry and cranberry fruit. Dried herb, rose, anise and earthy clay characters add layers of complexity, whilst the touch of kirsch provides depth and intrigue. The balanced canopy to crop ratio has ensured even ripening and minimal disease pressures, resulting in a wine with exceptional structure and ageing potential. With time, expect to see more bottle age characters develop, showcasing the deceptively high level of tannins characteristic of this thin-skinned variety.
Pairs With
This elegant Pyrenees Nebbiolo pairs beautifully with braised beef short ribs, wild mushroom risotto, aged Parmigiano-Reggiano or Pecorino cheese, duck confit or truffle-infused pasta, with the wine's fine structured tannins and fresh acidity making it perfect for rich, earthy dishes and sophisticated Italian cuisine.
Only made in small quantities and from exceptional sites, 'The Fog' Nebbiolo is Tar & Roses' flagship wine and the inspiration behind their name.
