2022 Sven Joschke La Eleanore Sangiovese
WINEMAKER: Sven Joschke
REGION: Langhorne Creek, SA
VARIETAL: Sangiovese
VITICULTURE: Organic/Sustainable
Single vineyard 24 year old Sangiovese vines from Langhorne Creek, another cracker year from the Horn. Bag pressed off to natural French hog heads for barrel fermentation. Racked off lees, rested for 6 months and bottled unfined, unfileter with inimal sulphur added on bottling. Cherry spice, dusty dry tannins, perfume 'a la Dario the Mad Butcher'... serve chilled if required...
Spending the last 15 years abroad and interstate, Sven decided to ditch his life as a Chartered Accountant and come back home to South Australia. Swapping the Casio and spreadsheets for his ultimate calling of wine (originally working under Peter Schell at Spinifex and Jason Schwarz Schwarz Wine Co, as well as some time in Jura), at least he can now claim market research when enjoying some plonk!
