Vinea Marson Sangiovese 2021

"Comprises 13 clones, wild fermentation, gentle extraction, post-ferment maceration, maturation in French and Hungarian oak. Sangiovese is a big reason why the Marsons chose their new home in Heathcote. In a top year like '21, they have a solid canvas on which to paint a beautifully expressive sangiovese: fragrant, sweet fruited, earthy, savoury. Combines dark, spiced blood plums, ripe black berries and cherries with striking herbals, sage, anise, earth, woodsmoke and undergrowth. Bottle age is bringing everything together beautifully on a body of ripe tannins."  Rating: 94.  Jeni Port.  Halliday Wine Companion.

The release of Vinea Marson’s 2021 Sangiovese is from a single vineyard  sourced from the twelve clones in the Sotto & Sopra estate vineyard. Deep garnet in colour, the Sangiovese possesses bright red fruit aromas of dark cherries and ripe raspberries alongside savoury notes of vanilla bean pod, nutmeg and dried herbs.

"Perfumed and lifted, with aromas of red & black cherries, damson plums, violets, red apple skins, lilacs and lead pencil. The palate is plush and rounded with a fine line of acidity and firmly framed and refined tannins. Delicious and varietal, showing plenty of floral lift and perfume, with a Tuscan touch. High-toned, with a subtle Negroni-like edge." 95 points & #44 in James Suckling Top 100 Wines of Australia 2025
