A good clone went in under guidance by local retired viticulturist Max Loader, he was super passionate for people to plant Nebbiolo in around the Ballarat area. Unfortunately the climate proved much too cold for nebbiolo. Our one row is still there, it sets fruit most years \u0026amp; fails to ripen. Yet It's always been a huge interest to produce Nebbiolo after those formative years trying to grow it. 10 years ago it was great to be reacquainted with Cameron \u0026amp; Robert John father \u0026amp; son team (Trevor Mast connections) who have been pioneering Nebbiolo in the Pyrenees for many years now (Steve Pannell suggested they grow nebbiolo for Hardy’s back in the day) , I could only imagine how challenging it is year to year farming nebbiolo in the Landsbrough Valley.
