Raga Grenache Sangiovese Marsanne 2023

Fruit is sourced from sustainable vineyards of which vines are 25 years old. Basket pressed and matured in seasoned large format oak. 45% Grenache, 45% Sangiovese and 10% Marsanne. A heavy bottle for what is a delicate, floral wine; red rose, tulip and hibiscus. Rainier cherries, umeboshi plum and rhubarb. Roobios tea, pulled paper bark and mace. Acidity unfurls and then gathers momentum across the palate, tannins are fine and silty but typically that Sangiovese style drying, we know and love. A hint of cherry tomato savouriness and fresh raspberries. If you are unsure what to expect, then think along the lines of a fine elegant sandy soiled Grenache with the perfume of a Northern Italian Nebbiolo. This is delightful drinking and full of surprises. Drink now and will cellar further for another 3-8 years. Serve with a beautifully pink pork chop and morel sauce.
