Place: Beechworth, VIC

Variety: Nebbiolo

Farming: Sustainable

Tessa Brown and Jeremy Schmölzer are the husband-and-wife team thoughtfully farming in cool Beechworth. Their wines are characterful and honest expressions of their beautiful isolated pocket of Victoria.

Beechworth has developed a reputation for nebbiolo, the fickle grape from Italy’s northwestern pocket of Piedmont and surrounds. Jeremy and Tessa already had a soft spot for the grape and over the last few years increasingly understood how to sculpt it. 28 days on skins then 18 months in oak has nurtured an approachable yet ageable nebbiolo of great substance.
