2019 Ngeringa Sangiovese




Ngeringa is OG biodynamic. Certified for over 20 years. This is 100% estate sangiovese. "The grapes are grown on a steep westerly facing slope of the Rufus Vineyard at about 360m above sea level, on rocky red ironstone and schist over clay. Quite a challenging vineyard site – facing west, it receives the belting summer sun and often is exposed to characteristic winds of the Adelaide Hills. From the top of this vineyard in the distance, however, one can see Lake Alexandrina and the mouth of the Murray River, consequently receiving cooling evening breezes, which do much to preserve fruit acids and flavours through the critical weeks of ripening. Only 750 vines planted, Brunello and Chianti clones.
Full of dark cherries, plums and red currants, intertwined with forest leaves and earthy notes. A medium-bodied Sangiovese with well-formed approachable tannins, great fruit concentration and good length."
