‘A little piece of Tuscany meets the Clare Valley. It has some of the things that Aussie palates are in tune with including warm berry fruits and some slick vanillin oak. But you a lso get a bit of sour cherry and some savoury meaty notes that you’ll find with wines from the classic Chianti region. It is full and juicy with tannins that are soft and slippery.' - Jeremy Holmes (Dór to Door) The fruit for the Deano Sangiovese comes from the oldest Sangiovese Vines in the Clare Valley, which are dry grown and produce low yields with amazing quality. Eldredge have now mastered this tricky variety. Slightly higher in natural acid than other varieties, it is a wonderful food wine and suits most styles and cuisines. The grapes are picked and go through a whole bunch ferment in open fermenters, which are hand plunged twice a day. After ferment finishes, the grapes are basket pressed and the juice goes into new and older French oak for 8-12months. Recommended to drink now or would cellar well for 5-8 years. **Please note this wine is available as a pre-sale and any orders placed will not be shipped until first week of September** Show more
