Tasting Notes
Aroma
Outrageously spice driven with clove, cinnamon and five spice all coming to the fore on the nose.
Palate
A savoury Italianiate palate supports a tight structure and a dry palate to provide a very food friendly wine. Tannins are prominent but in balance.
Vinification
The fruit from each vineyard was destemmed and kept as whole berries before being fermented. Free run and light pressings were kept separate and then aged for 22 months in neutral and third-use French oak to round out the wine and soften the tannins. Blended and bottled in January 2020. Unfined and unfiltered.
Region Notes
One tonne of fruit was picked from the White’s Valley vineyard (this vineyard is low yielding, and only has three rows of Sagrantino planted to it). An additional tonne of fruit was picked from a Seaview vineyard with red iron rich rocky soil. The vines on both vineyards are approaching 20 years of age.
