2021 Sangiovese Rosato

A switch to Sangiovese from Nebbiolo is a good thing. Now we can make Nebbiolo red again ;-). Sangiovese provides a more floral, prettier Rosato base without the heavy tannin to deal with. It still holds great acidity and earthy/savoury notes – just how we like it. And we like it.

Just under two tonne of Yallingup Sangiovese was handpicked and immediately crushed and pressed to tank for settling. Fermentation started naturally and ran for 2 weeks before the wine was racked to aged barriques for four months prior to bottling, unfined/unfiltered.

Pale orange colour. Lifted orange blossom scents, rosewater, cherry, strawberry, fruit tingles and a potpourri of floral scents amongst the savoury woodsmoke, earth and stone.

A creamy mouthfeel, yet with a tight acid backbone, the palate delivers orange rind, strawberries and cream, red berries with a lick of tannin so you know you’ve got a live one on your hands. Best with food.
