2023 Denton Shed Nebbiolo

Lifted red fruits, aniseed and florals lead a bright, pink-hued wine with high-toned acidity and supple tannins.

Established in 1996 by John and Simon Denton, Denton’s "View Hill" vineyard in Yarra Glen is set on granitic sandy soil with a north-facing aspect. In 2024, John Denton retired, selling the estate to Scott Bishop, who has fully immersed himself in its daily operations. Winemaker Kirilly Gordon, with experience in Victoria, France, and Italy, has led production since 2022, while vineyard manager Julian Parrott, with over five years on-site, ensures meticulous care of the vines.

The Shed range prioritizes perfume, texture, and drinkability, with an emphasis on lightness and delicacy. Bottled early to retain freshness, these wines are approachable and ready to enjoy upon release. Sourced from a sun-soaked, granite-rich site on the northwestern slope, this Nebbiolo is made in a fresh, vibrant style for late summer and autumn drinking. Wild fermented in both stainless steel and an egg fermenter (with early pressing to preserve brightness), it shows lifted aromatics of red fruit, aniseed and red flowers, with a bright pink hue, high-toned acidity and surprisingly soft tannins.
