2013 | Sunning Hill Sangiovese | 5 Star Winery | Chain Of Ponds (12 Bottles)

The grapes were crushed and destemmed, and fermented at cool temperatures in open fermenters to allow full extraction of colour and flavour. It was pressed off skins after 6 days and transferred to 3-4 year old French oak for maturation. The wine was matured in French oak for 10 months to integrate tannins and give a savoury note and complexity to the palate. It was then bottled to preserve the fresh primary fruit characters of Sangiovese. Buy best online wine throughout Australia by Cheaper Buy The Dozen

Crimson cherry red with plum purple hue

Aromas of dark cherries, redcurrants and hints of black pepper. Just a hint of roasted chestnuts is evident from the oak. A very inviting and complex nose.

Elegant palate with good primary fruits of cherry and blackcurrant, redcurrant and black pepper spice. Integrated subtle sweet French oak and savoury fruit tannins which are firm but not excessive are balanced by firm acidity and gentle fruit sweetness. An ideal accompaniment to food, in particular, red meat and gamey dishes, antipasto or with a strongly flavoured cheese platter.
