Our Sangiovese is grown on the ancient Cambrian soils of the Camelback Range in Colbinabbin, Heathcote. These deep, nutrient-rich soils—formed over 500 million years ago—provide the perfect foundation for vine health and flavour development. Combined with the warmth of the Central Victorian climate, they produce grapes of exceptional ripeness, intensity, and structure.
The 2023 vintage spent 18 months in barrel, allowing the wine to develop complexity and harmony. It opens with bright aromas of red cherry and spiced plum, followed by savoury herbal notes and hints of dried oregano and thyme. Spiced oak adds further depth, while the firm, chalky tannins give the wine its classic Italianate structure and long, dry finish.
This is a food-loving wine. It pairs beautifully with rustic, flavourful dishes like slow-cooked lamb ragu, wood-fired pizza with fennel sausage, or eggplant parmigiana. It also shines alongside antipasti platters featuring salami, prosciutto, hard cheeses, and olives.
Drink now, or cellar until 2034 for greater nuance and evolution.
