Sangiovese — a thin-skinned variety known for its herbal and spice notes, high tannins, and natural acidity — finds an ideal home in Heathcote’s well-drained soils and abundant sunlight, producing a wine of genuine character and finesse. Bright light ruby red in colour, with attractive lifted terracotta clay characters, rose water, and red cherries on the nose, and hints of clove and cinnamon spice; substantial fine-grained tannins supporting sweet cherry fruit flavours on a well-balanced, medium-bodied palate. Machine harvested, fermented in static fermenters with twice-daily pump overs, and matured in older used barriques. Heathcote Sangiovese at its most expressive and approachable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAppearance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBright light ruby red — the attractive, vibrant colour of a Heathcote Sangiovese crafted from well-drained vineyard soils with abundant sunlight, with the clarity and freshness that careful winemaking and older used barrique maturation deliver.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAroma\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAttractive and lifted — terracotta clay characters, rose water, and red cherries, with hints of clove and cinnamon spice.
