2023 Sandalwood Single Vineyard Sangiovese

Sangiovese was pioneered in Australia by Coriole Vineyards. Our exploration of the variety has taken us to our first bottling of a single vineyard wine from our McLaren Flat site - resulting in a very different style that showcases the versatility of sangiovese and it's suitability to our climate.

After fermentation, this parcel of fruit received extended time on skins, approximately five months. This longer time on skins causes a softening of the structure and it's forming longer chains of tannins which then can precipitate out of the wine. Following this, the juice was pressed to barrel for a further 12 months maturation.
