Grapes: Sangiovese, Nebbiolo, Barbera
Tasting profile
Structure: medium-bodied, high tannin, high acidity, dry
Ceoltóirí is Irish for musicians, continuing the estate's habit of naming wines from the founding family's heritage, and the wine is a blend of three Italian varieties — Sangiovese, Nebbiolo and Barbera. All three keep high acidity and firm tannin, and the Canberra District's cold nights suit them: sour cherry and red plum with dried herb, tar, rose petal and a savoury, almost bitter-edged finish. Medium-bodied with grippy tannin and real freshness. An unusual blend that works because the parts share a temperament, and a wine that comes alive with food.
