TASTING NOTES

Ravensworth Estate Sangiovese 2022 is an exceptional wine crafted by Ravensworth, a renowned winery in the Canberra District of Australia known for producing high-quality, distinctive wines.

The wine is aged in French oak barrels, which imparts subtle notes of vanilla and spice to the wine, perfectly balancing the bright fruit flavors.

The wine has a medium body with a bright acidity and flavors of tart cherry, red plum, and cranberry. Its smooth tannins provide a nice grip and structure to the wine, leading to a satisfyingly long finish.

It offers a delicious interpretation of Sangiovese, a grape that's often associated with Italy. However, this Australian version has a distinctive character that is all its own, making it a unique and exciting addition to any wine collection.

Scores

94/100

A kind of crispness and crunch to this wine, more in line with pelaverga or vivid poulsard of Jura than sangiovese in a way, even with hallmark spice, red cherry fruitiness, herbal elements in tow. Fine strings of lacy tannin firm things up, the wine almost feels just a few pay grades up from rose but for its layers of fruit and spice. It’s delicious, refreshing, vibrant as an expression. It does a lighter shade of sangio so well.
