Tasting Notes

Aroma
Bright aromas of red cherry, wild strawberry and dried rose, with a hint of blood orange and dusty earth.

Palate
The palate is light to medium-bodied, with juicy red fruits, fine tannins and fresh acidity driving a savoury finish.

Winemakers comments
In the winery, we seek to translate the balance and vibrance of the fruit to the wines - using minimal intervention winemaking techniques to ensure that the wine reflects the geology, climate and location of our vineyard, in a true preservation of Terroir. Under Biodynamic certification, we use a maximum of 20ppm (parts-per-million) of free Sulphur (preservative) at bottling - a low dose that may reduce Sulphur reactions, and still ensures our wines will cellar impeccably for years to come.

Food matching
Serve with; salumi, tomato ragu, chargrilled lamb.

Vintage notes
2024 was an excellent vintage across the region. Regular rainfall in Spring and early Summer supported healthy canopy growth, while a dry and settled finish to the season allowed for steady ripening and clean fruit at harvest. Yields were balanced, and flavours developed evenly, with good natural acidity and phenolic ripeness. The wines from 2024 are vibrant, pure and expressive.

Vinification
This Sangiovese was destemmed and fermented on skins for 14 days, before being pressed to stainless steel tanks to complete malolactic fermentation. The wine was bottled early to preserve freshness and vibrancy.
