2024 'sans—' Sangiovese/Syrah.
FARM
Organic fruit from Toolamba (Yorta Yorta Country).
The last harvest before the vineyard was ripped out.
GRAPES
70% Sangiovese + 30% Syrah.
Wild fermented. Zero additions. Zero sulphur.
Unfined. Unfiltered.
13% Alc/vol.
FIELD
Wild fermented — Sangiovese in stainless steel, Syrah in the open air — then barrel-aged for two years. Hand-bottled by gravity.
TASTING
Freshly cut strawberries, boysenberries and raspberries in a bowl with cream on the nose. Uber cherry-jam palate, with some just-ripe plum, finishing both bright and savoury with gentle spice and very inviting grip.
DRINKING NOTE
Give this one a bit of time to open up when you first pop the cork. It'll head towards cherry town. And cherry town is a very fun town.
