Ballandean has a label split like the plains and hills of the regions, or ganite rock splititng the plains. It's a kind of noble, imposing label witha staggered height , in black, gold and white. The 'Messing about' series is a group of limited releases. The 2009 Nebbiolo is at its peak development this year, 2011. In relation to drinking locally, Ballandean is apparently available in one of the Northern Rivers villages Sports and Social Club: Dunoon. We have yet to go there and see what have they have in stock, espeically if it is a range and not just a one-off, such as a sweet red. Ballandean's website says the grape has been grown at Ballandean for approx 16 years that the wine is a bit of a winner: Silver - Queensland Wine Awards, and 4 Stars - Winestate Magazine.
