Stone Dwellers 2021 Sangiovese

Region

Single Vineyard, Strathbogie Ranges. Upton Run vineyard, Block 13.6. Clone: MAT 1.

Winemaking

Sangiovese fruit was harvested from our north west facing Upton Run block. After being gently crushed, the juice was kept on skins for six days of fermentation to achieve savoury tannin complexity. A cultured yeast was selected to enhance spice and fruit flavours in the wine. The wine was matured in older French barrels for eight months to provide structure, but not enough oak influence to overpower the Sangiovese varietal characters.
