FIERCE III SAGRANTINO 750ml
The 2019 growing season was dry through winter and spring and it continued that way until harvest, producing lower yields and small berries. Lou (Miranda) was one of the first winemaker/vigneron to plant Sagrantino in Australia. Planted in 2009 with clone Ruggeri/MAT1, Richter/MAT1 & Richter/MAT4 on a single wire trellis.
The textural quality of this wine lends itself towards foods with sweetness, such as Gnocchi with blue cheese sauce.
Colour: Inky Ruby Red with purple hues
Nose: Aromas of dried cherry, cranberry and ‘La Fiorita’ (flowering lentils) with mocha and hints of peppermint and thyme. Well perfumed and captivating.
Palate: Distinctive flavours of rich, ripe fruit, enriched with savoury spice and mocha. Powerful varietal tannins with texture add structure and persistence to this delicious red wine. It is all about the multilayered fine tannins.
