Sangiovese offers unique savoury fruit characters and the most splendid tannins. Parcels are sourced from Chapel Hill's Kangarilla vineyard located at the foothills of the Mount Lofy Ranges on the eastern border of McLaren Vale. This mesoclimate is ideal for encouraging Sangiovese to reveal all of its varietal charm. Grapes are vinified in small open fermenters and gently hand plunged to encourage the preferential extraction of subtle savoury qualities while avoiding any astringent tannins. After a total of nine days on skins the ferment is basket pressed and the wine racked into a selection of seasoned French oak barrels for sixteen months to encourage the expression of grainy varietal tannins.
