Dozen Price: $251.88
RRP: $25.00
Interestingly 2020 is not as deep in colour as the previous vintage but, WOW what an amazing aromatic profile. Rich black fruits in droves with hints of bright berries and in the background an uncharacteristic complex aroma of smoky French oak lifting this Progeny shiraz to a new and surprising level. An incredibly dense rich, ripe and juicy blackberry and plum fruit. Amazingly lush and softly textured, also a surprise for such a young wine. A great example of Shiraz from the Sanguine vineyard in a tiny yielding vintage that started hot and finished cool. Cellar up to 10 years. Winemaker - Mark Hunter

Winery & Vintage Info
Sanguine Estate utilise traditional winemaking practices such as small fermentation tanks, natural fermentation (i.e. no yeast additions) and gravity feeding. Whilst this can be quite labour intensive, we believe it ensures the preservation of natural fruit flavours and the Heathcote terroir character.
As with all varieties produced at Sanguine Estate, the grapes for the 2020 Progeny Shiraz were de-stemmed, lightly crushed and then naturally fermented with wild indigenous yeasts in small open fermenters. The wine is then transferred via gravity (to avoid pump shock) to predominantly French oak barriques (approximately 15% new) and left to mature for approximately 12 months.
