Sangiovese is Italy's most widely planted variety and responsible for some of its greatest wines from Chianti and Brunello di Montalcino.

This is achieved by meticulous hand pruning and crop thinning and removing all unripe and damaged grapes before harvest.Harvest date: 13th March 2017The fruit was warm fermented in traditional open vats which were hand plunged. The wine was aged in oak barrels for 18 months prior to blending.This wine is light brick red in colour, with bright purple hues. With aromas of fresh cherry typical of the variety, the palate delivers savoury fruit and a smooth finish.Perfect with pizza, pasta and antipasto platters.

Brooksbank Estate Pinot Noir
Our philosophy is make wines in a low intervention way, with minimal sulphur and no other additions. Wines are carefully handled, only racked once post fermentation to high quality French Oak barrels, then to tank for bottling. No fining or filtration. • Fruit is source from and made in Orange, NSW. • Low yielding vines (15-20+ yrs old), grown above 1000 metres. • All fruit is handpicked and processed. • Only 110 dozen produced. Tasting notes: Floral nose of red and dark cherry, nutmeg, briar and cedar. This wine is more fruit forward than the 2016 and a fuller wine. It will develop further forest floor undergrowth, mushroom and truffle tones. This wine is 50% whole bunch, which brings a spicy cedar palate, fine powdery tannins, balanced by natural acidity.
