Farm to Table 2021 Sangiovese Dozen

Region

Victoria

Winemaking

The Sangiovese grapes were harvested from block 13 of our Upton Run vineyard using a selective process harvester on the last day of April, 2021 – a month later then the previous vintage. After gentle crushing, the juice was fermented in stainless steel to maximise colour and preserve primary fruit flavours and aromas. For nine months this wine was matured with old French (50%) and American (50%) oak. The combination of these create a great balance of vanilla and oak spice.
