Description
This is Syrahmi’s Sangiovese from the Kennedy vineyard in Colbinabbin, grown on classic red Cambrian dirt. It’s made without additions, wild fermented after full destemming, and kept on skins for 22 days before being matured in large French foudre and seasoned Austrian oak. No tricks, just proper handling to show off the fruit and soil.
Stylistically, it leans savoury and structured — a far cry from the soft, easygoing Sangiovese you sometimes see locally. Black cherry and dark plum set the tone, with balsamic, bitter chocolate, thyme and undergrowth rounding it out. There’s real depth to the palate, but it stays firm and taut thanks to the fine tannin and bright line of acidity.
This isn’t a crowd-pleaser, and it’s not trying to be. It’s a serious, soil-driven Sangiovese built with patience and purpose, made for drinkers who appreciate clarity, restraint, and old-world sensibility done well on Australian ground.

"This is a cracking sangiovese with ample body and the structure to match. One sip and you find yourself exclaiming, 'Go, you good thing.' Red cherries, currants, leather and chocolate come lifted with mint and sweet spice. It all works beautifully."
- Campbell Mattinson (Halliday Wine Companion)

Top notch Australian Sangiovese. Earthy and rustic, loaded with ferrous characters, sour cherry, cherry elixir and liqourice. A veritable wall of chalky tannins is a real highlight. One of the better - and more serious - Sangiovese wines produced in Australia.
