Morgenster Italian Collection Nabucco 2014 (6/case) (R337/BOTTLE)
Morgenster Nabucco 2014 is owner Giulio Bertrand’s first certified “Single vineyard wine” and appears under a slightly changed label.
It was made in the Italian manner on the Estate from the 11th crop delivered from Betrand’s prized 1.6 ha. Nebbiolo vineyard of Italian clones.
Nabucco 2014 delivers the feeling of gravitas normally associated with international Nebbiolo. As there are not many wines made of this cultivar in South Africa it is seen as a benchmark by many, validating Bertrand’s passion and investment to make great Italian wines on Morgenster.
Cellar master Henry Kotzé says this deeply nuanced wine will still offer much pleasure in 20 years’ time
