19th Vintage of Sangiovese - 2005 Now Available

TUESDAY, DECEMBER 05, 2006

After the very enthusiastic media response to our 2004 Sangiovese, many may have wondered how we�d follow it up.

Rest assured, the grape pioneered in Australia by Coriole just keeps on getting better.

The summer of 2005 had a warmish January (average 22) and a very mild February (average 18). The ripening was slow but the final wine showed surprising rich colour and tannin. A year in old oak has settled the wine just enough to make it more akin to an Italian style than the very pretty 2004 wine.

The wine is medium-bodied, with classic aromas of tobacco / plum and spice. In the mouth, ripe cherry flavours lead to a complex, satisfying and grippy finish and the implication, �Drink me with food�.
