Hand-picked and processed without pumping but with hand and mechanical sorting to give pure fruit with a large percentage of whole berries in the ferment. After 3 weeks on skins the wine was pressed and then matured in a combination of older oak (40%) and a concrete sphere shaped vessel (60%). The oak was softer and had a more complex flavour profile. The portion stored in concrete had more intense primary fruit and a structural drive. Red fruits mixed in with chinotto and brick dust. The fruit highlights sit above the complex earth characters, iodine and nutmeg spice. Just over medium bodied the wine is savoury and textured. The tannin are firm, dusty and assertive but the acidity remains cleansing through the length of the wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e🌱 \u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(7, 156, 27);\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eVegan Friendly\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp id=\"tastingNote\" class=\"o-p c-tasting__description-main-blurb\" style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"Hand picked, processed without pumping, with whole-berry fruit intact in small open-top fermenters, carbonic maceration pre-ferment, 25 days on skins, pressed and divided between concrete and seasoned French oak. The winemaker believes in the great potential of sangiovese in Heathcote, and why not, when you can enjoy a wine soft, plummy and approachable? It's ripe in black cherries, plums, clove, licorice and spice, with fine, soft tannins in place.
