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.

Food Pairing

Wood fired pizza, pasta with Chorizo sausage, cured meats.
