Five delicious Barolo alternatives

<p>Bright, perfumed red cherry, raspberry and cinnamon aromas and flavours which last and last. It finishes chewy and long. A beautiful Nebbiolo.</p>

Named for the family that owned the property before Stephen and Prue Henschke, this intriguing wine is so pale it almost almost looks like a rosé. It announces itself as a charming young vine red with its rose petal fragrance and delicate cherryish flavour, whose gentle touch of sweetness on the mid-palate is framed by distinct Nebbiolo tannins and acidity.

Deep and dense yet juicy, with chocolate and coffee notes complementing rich red cherry fruit. It finishes with building sweetness and ripe tannins. I normally hate Nebbiolo- Cabernet-Merlot blends, but young Australian winemaker Dave Fletcher has come up with a winner here.
