Winery & Vintage Info
The fruit is grown on the De Bortoli Shelley’s Vineyard on the eastern edge of the Rutherglen region. Two clones of Sangiovese were planted to add complexity. The site is slightly undulating with an interesting gravel, clay and alluvial soil mix.
2021 was a fantastic year to grow grapes in Rutherglen. After regular rainfall events and a mild summer the grapes have ripened to their ultimate potential. The whites in particular have outstanding flavour intensity. The reds had great colour, varietal flavours and structure which is enhanced to the natural acid retained due to the cooler season.
The Rutherglen Estate Sangiovese grapes are coming from our small, low yielding, super-premium estate vineyard. The grapes were harvested, crushed and underwent a two day cold soak before warming and fermenting. After 10 days on skins the wine was pressed and aged in a mix of older French oak hogshead and Puncheons for six months to accentuate both the bright cherry notes, as well as the naturally spicy and savoury characters whilst using the time in oak to help soften the chewy tannins.
