The Italianate style of dry and tannic Sangiovese has it's genesis within the warm and sunny climes which surround lower altitudes. Sangiovese requires great care and patience to ripen properly in the higher, slow ripening conditions of King Valley, and clonal selection has never been more important. Traditional winemaking techniques are embraced within a modern approach to vinification. The fruit is handled promptly and minimally to retain ripe berry characters and bold tannin structure in the wine. Treated to a period of maturation in a combination of high quality French oak barrels, Gracebrook is a proudly Australian style of Sangiovese, softer, fresher and more bightly lit than it's Tuscan siblings.
