2024 Konpira Maru Square Root of Five
Description
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.

Come curious. Leave with a new favourite.
We don’t tell you what to drink. You don’t need to know your varietals, regions or vintages, and you certainly don’t need to pretend you do. Tell us what you like, hate, what you’ve tried or curious about — we’ll take it from there. Sometimes the best bottle is the one you didn’t know you wanted.
