Vineyard Notes
Our Sangiovese is planted at the very top of Chalk Hill in shallow ironstone sand and produces small berries of intense colour and flavour
Winemakers Notes
Sangiovese needs time and care to display its richness. The entire winemaking process is unhurried and gentle. This patience is rewarded with great concentration of flavour, soft acidity and balanced tannin

Sausage, basil and pecorino pasta sauce with fresh pasta
Review
"An evocative cherry, spice and cedar bouquet, then a gently complex palate, dominated by cherry with some leather and spice notes and ripe, fine tannins in support"
