The Vintage
The 2024 vintage was fast and furious with the ideal conditions of hot and dry weather condensing the harvesting window to four weeks.
A dry period throughout the growing season saw the vines flourish. Yields were down, but quality was high which is ideal for our small family-owned winery.
The Story
Mike gets to embrace his heritage by making one of Italy’s most celebrated grape varieties. Sangiovese was one of Australia’s original alternative varieties with plantings dating back to 1970’s.
The Wine
Vibrant and plush red cherry and strawberry characters fill the palate. The earthy and fine tannin structure leaves a smooth, delectable finish. Couple this with a bright line of acidity and you’ve got a fantastic wine made for food.
The Potential
The fine tannin structure and natural acidity gives the wine the potential to age for 5-10 years. However, after one sip we believe this wine will last a max of three months in your wine collection.
The Match
Our 2024 Special Release Sangiovese is a truly versatile wine, crafted to be the quintessential partner for a wide array of dishes.
Its vibrant acidity and savoury notes make it an ideal match for classic Italian fare, from rich tomato-based pasta sauces to earthy mushroom risottos.
