2024 Fighting Gully Sangiovese

Juicy and energetic red fruits with a gentle chalky feel across the long finish.

Made from 95% Sangiovese and 5% Colorino. Vibrant dark red colour with black shaded edges and a bright red hue. Attractive red currant, red liquorice and red cherry aromatics intermingle with whiffs of rose petal, dried herbs, earthy tobacco notes and spice. Juicy red currant and red liquorice fruits have an energetic flow across the mid weighted palate. Also chiming in are red cherry, delicate tobacco, dried herb and spicy earth nuances. Fine grained tannins impart a gentle chalky feel across the long finish which is both fresh and savoury.
Drink over the next 5-6 years.

Mark Walpole loves sangiovese and the feeling is reciprocated. This is a mighty strong follow-up to the '23, fairly bristling in cherry-fruited and aromatic brightness and crunch in youth, with an underlying brooding quality that says, 'just wait.' A smidge (5%) of the Tuscan colorino red grape adds to the iridescence of the cherry red, bright hues. Aromas rise in wild raspberries, red cherries, plum, florals, cumin, fennel seed, red earth and spice. The palate is nicely weighted, with brisk acid crunch, and is both upbeat and alive in spiced cherry, red fruits and an underlying savouriness of Campari, dried herbs, licorice and mineral earthiness. Potential? You bet! Drink by 2033.

5% Colorino in the mix. Aged in large casks for 10 months. I recall I had this a few months ago (May25) at The Malaya (Sydney) which has a fine selection of wines, peppered with a liberal selection from local distributor AJ Wine Merchants.
Has plenty of Sangiovese character, with red cherry and strawberry, a little lemon zest and dried herb, almond, a nutty and rosy perfume. It’s medium-bodied, quite sappy and lively, a little grainy grip to tannin, juicy red fruits, again that lightly nutty thing, with a bright finish of good length. Excellent wine. A great food style too. Drink 2025-2032.
