    The 2023 Fletcher The Minion Nebbiolo is a stunning example of the unique expression that David Fletcher has perfected in Australian Nebbiolo. Hailing from the Yarra Valley, this wine showcases the signature profile of Nebbiolo, with ripe cherry fruit at the forefront, complemented by distinct herbal notes of gum leaf and hints of rosemary. The palate delivers a tannic structure that is both drying and firm, balanced by a touch of orange tang and a savoury edge that adds depth. As the wine evolves, it reveals a complexity marked by baking spices and a hint of nougat, leaving a long, sappy finish with a touch of tannin. With its elegance and natural acidity, this Nebbiolo from Victoria offers an impressive balance of power and finesse.

    Fletcher

    David Fletcher’s journey to producing exceptional Nebbiolo began in 2004, when his passion for this iconic Italian grape led him to Italy. Immersing himself in the traditions of Barbaresco and Barolo, he honed his craft and dedication to Nebbiolo, ultimately creating Fletcher Wines to blend his love for Italian winemaking with Australia’s unique terroir. By 2012, Fletcher settled in Barbaresco, where he continues to produce wines that reflect both the best of Italian tradition and Australian innovation.

    Fletcher’s self-professed obsession with Nebbiolo has become the cornerstone of his winemaking philosophy. An Australian by birth, Fletcher’s journey to the Langhe hills of Piemonte was driven by an undeniable passion for Nebbiolo’s transcendent quality, and now, he calls Barbaresco home. Starting his winemaking career early, Fletcher didn’t inherit a winery or follow a family tradition—his passion for winemaking grew organically, alongside his love for the land and the grape variety he reveres. Today, Fletcher’s wines are a testament to his dedication, not only to Nebbiolo but to the unique expression it can have in both Italy and Australia. With the production of no more than 25,000 bottles annually, Fletcher Wines remains a highly sought-after, small-scale winery with a focus on quality over quantity. His ability to craft world-class Nebbiolo, alongside his expanding portfolio of wines, is a reflection of his ongoing commitment to pushing boundaries and continuing the exploration of this exceptional grape.

    Tasting notes

    NOSE
    Cherry, Gum Leaf, Cured Meats

    Vibrant cherry fruit and the unmistakable herbal aromas of rosemary and eucalyptus, a signature of Nebbiolo from both its Italian roots and the unique climate of Victoria. The faint, savoury notes of cured meats add complexity, creating a captivating bouquet.

    PALATE
    Sappy, Orange Tang, Dark Cherry

    A sappy texture, with a tang of orange juice acidity that balances the deep, dark cherry flavours. The wine’s tannic structure is prominent, offering a firm, savoury character that is both powerful and refined.

    FINISH
    Gummy Tannins, Savoury, Baking Spices

    A lingering sensation of sappy tannins and a touch of savoury baking spices. A little nougat and a persistent orange juice tang round out the wine, leaving a finish that is both fresh and enduring.
