WINEMAKER COMMENTS
Sangiovese is a variety that has large clonal quality variation. Choosing the right clone, vine age and growing sites is critical to gaining full flavour rich cherry flavours typical of Chianti. Grown on vineyards in northeast Victoria this wine is a mix of two clones that were selected 25 years ago and are now in their prime. This wine displays the age, clonal selection and red soil site selection to give varietal characteristics.
