2010 Vintage
Region: King Valley, Victoria
Grapes: 70% Sangiovese, 30% Shiraz
The Wine
The wine has a vibrant cherry color, with dark cherry hue. The nose exudes red berries, dried herbs, and dusty spice. Aromatics of savory plums and cherries give the wine a youth-full juicy lift. The palate is fresh and lush and has lovely soft chalky tannins and gentle yet crisp acidity. It is a wine to be consumed fresh and young.

Vinification
Some batches of Sangiovese were fermented at a warm thirty degrees Celsius to extract as much flavour, tannins and texture as possible. The remainder was fermented at a lower
temperature of twenty three degrees Celsius to help retain freshness and fruit lift. The Shiraz was fermented at twenty five degrees Celsius to extract more delicate aromatics and fruit flavour. Both varieties were matured in stainless steel to impart freshness to the wine. The resulting wine is our “vino di tavola” Chianti style made for drinking now and every day.
