Like its northern Italian siblings, Sangiovese has adapted extremely well to the terroir of the NSW Hilltops.

TASTING NOTES

FREEMAN Sangiovese 2018 is a captivating bright garnet hue with appealing aromas of Morello cherry and dried herbs over a gently spicy frame. The mid-weight palate is plush with rich flavours and underlying ripe fruit, subtle oak and balancing fine-grained tannins.

WINEMAKING
The Sangiovese block was grafted onto 40-year-old vines in 2010 and is now producing grapes with powerfully concentrated flavours. The fully ripe crop was thinned to achieve a yield of five tonnes/hectare, a pre-requisite for balance in both the vines and wine. The grapes were picked at the end of March and gently basket-pressed after fermentation on skins for five days before 12 months maturation in old oak.
