Save Our Souls Sangiovese 2022 captures the essence of Victoria’s Alpine region with a refined expression of cool climate elegance. Crafted by William Downie, a rising star of Gippsland whose expertise spans Burgundy and renowned Australian wineries like Bass Phillips and De Bortoli, this wine showcases a masterful balance of tradition and innovation.
Hailing from the fertile alluvial soils along the King River, this Sangiovese benefits from mineral-rich terrain and cool mountain air that gently slows grape ripening. The result is a wine with subtle complexity and fine structure, embodying the unique terroir of Victoria’s high country.
Save Our Souls 2022 offers a savoury and earthy profile accented by delicate floral notes of rose petal and violets, intertwined with vibrant red cherry fruit. The palate reveals a fine and subtle balance of fruit and tannin, making it a versatile mid-weight wine that invites slurping, sipping, or sharing with friends.
Perfectly suited to Italian cuisine, this wine pairs beautifully with all pasta dishes and pizzas, especially those featuring tomato-based sauces. As wine critic Philip Rich notes, this “brightly fruited wine was made to be enjoyed with a margherita pizza in front of the TV on a school night.”
