Winemaking
Harvested across 2 nights from Vineyard: Spring Hill Vineyard, Macclesfield. Elevation and Aspect, 249 to 489 metres above sea level. Two types of Sangiovese clones the grapes were kept seperate and fermented in 5t open top stainless steel fermenters. The grapes were cold soaked, hand plunged over 9 days and pressed into seasoned French. The wine remained in 500L barrels for 4 months then bottled with minimal SO2. This wine is meant to be enjoyed early and even from the fridge.
Bouquet
Bouquet has bright and vibrant nose that exudes fresh cherry, strawberry, Chinese 5 spice and hints of dried thyme.
Palate
Palate shows delicious and lifted with a lovely acid profile. A slight confected red fruit character akin to redskin lollies. Dark cherry, red currents and tomato provide an attractive fruit platform for a light-medium bodied wine that finishes with slight savoury hints of dried basil and roasted coffee.
