2024 Konpira Maru Square Root of Five
$29.00
WINEMAKER: Alistair Reed & Sam Cook
REGION: King Valley, VIC
VARIETY: Sangiovese
VITICULTURE: Sustainable
A nose of five spice, goji berry and pink daisy with a luscious palate of raspberry, plum and black pepper. We recommend this with CWA sponge cake with pink icing. Originally designed to drink cold, the umami of the Sangiovese retaining its punch at low temp and the grippy tannins making for a dry chewy finish but ultimately works just as well at ambient temperature.
The name Konpira Maru has something to do with a fishing trawler and a heroin syndicate. You'd have to ask Al and Sam about that. What we do know is they're seriously good at making wine. Minimal intervention, maximum care.
