The Story

Tasting notes for Minimum Red Sangiovese Syrah 2022 from the Winery

GRAPES
55% Sangiovese, 21% Syrah + some Cabernet Sauvignon and Mataro.
13.5% Alc/vol.

FIELD NOTES
All components wild fermented on full skins in varietal batches: Sangiovese in stainless steel tank, Syrah, Mataro and Cab. Sauv. in various open vats. Average 14 days on skins, then pressed to aged 300L barrels for malolactic fermentation. Barrel-aged 10 months then brought together for bottling. Bottle-aged for 18 months before release.

DRINK NOW?
Made to enjoy now, as we've bottle-aged this for over a year. But, it's definitely worth cellaring a few bottles for the years to come. It will develop beautifully over the next 3-5 years.

TASTES
Luscious and velvety; dark red cherry, juicy red plum, red berry leaf, violets. Gentle, but firm, tannins.

PERSONA

The people pleaser, loved by all.

You might know Matt and Lentil Purbrick from Grown and Gathered – all about their organic garden farm and sustainable lifestyle. Embracing seasonal cooking, village life and traditions of the past, and charting their journey in two books, Grown & Gathered and The Village.
