Ravensworth Regional Sangiovese 2023

Bryan Martin sourced the fruit from his estate vineyard in Murrumbateman and the Young and Harden vineyard in the Hilltops region. The sites hold a lot of similarities despite the regional difference: they have high components of shale and granite, sit at lofty heights between 550 and 650 metres, and vine age is similar at 18 years on average. The fruit was processed as whole berries to small tanks for natural fermentation. After four weeks, the wine was pressed to used barriques and puncheons for 15 months’ maturation. Bryan’s instinct with Sangiovese plays out beautifully here; it’s packed with red fruits, juicy appeal and varietal charm. Once again, it’s a case of grab it while you can.
