Sangiovese or Jupiter’s Blood (sanguis Jovis) originated in Italy in the
province of Tuscany.

Old Granite Sangiovese is cultivated in the Beverley district of the Avon Valley in Western Australia, which has a Mediterranean climate similar to that of central Italy.

This robust vine is ideally suited to this area and produces excellent fruit in often harsh Wheatbelt conditions. The fruit is hand picked at the optimum time to produce this delightful wine.

This wine is light to medium bodied with spicy and raspberry aromas and earthy plum flavours. Lightly chilled, this easy drinking wine is perfect with a summer lunch or just to enjoy by itself.

The vineyard produced its first vintage in 2004 and was awarded a “Highly Commended” at the Wandering Wheatbelt Wine aWards in 2005.
