Blend
Sangiovese, GUNDAGAI/CANBERRA DISTRICT
Season
The 2024/2025 growing season commenced with well-spaced spring and early summer rain events, giving way to a dry summer and autumn, yielding beautifully clean, vibrant, and juicy Sangiovese grapes.
Viticulture
Sangiovese is grown at Tumblong (Gundagai) (ironstone-rich red loam) and Murrumbateman (Canberra District) (granite & red loam over shale).
Winemaking
Sangiovese grapes were hand-harvested in the cool of the morning in March, and early April. The grapes were whole-bunch pressed, yielding just the barest pink colour in the juice. A moderately cool fermentation was undertaken before preparation for bottling.
Taste
The wine is fresh on the nose with aromas of mandarin, cherry, rose-water and spice. The palate is crisp, with moreish mid-palate texture and mouth-watering acidity. Great for seasonal drinking with antipasti!
