The variety that started it all, and also the one Bryan is best known for. The fruit for this wine comes from three clones: MAT6, MAT7 and VCR23.

The grapes were hand-harvested and thrown into 10hl cuves and 12hl concrete pyramids. The grapes were whole-berry fermented and plunged daily for 3-12 weeks. Bryan believes the extra time helps bring out both seed tannin and skin tannin for a multi-textural experience and unique grip. The wine rested in concrete until Autumn, when it was moved to 30hl stockinger foudre to finish maturation.

Reviews

“Notes of Xmas cake spice and maraschino cherry make way for a core of dark cherry, bramble and chewy inky tannins. A fresh line of acidity brings lightness to the palate while feathery tannins remind of the grape's Italian origins. A plate of cured meats is a great partner.”
90 points, Gabrielle Poy, The Real Review
"The 2023 Sangiovese leads with aromas of tomato leaf and tapenade, grass clippings and watermelon. I am reminded wholeheartedly of Etna Rosso, a place hemispherically distant and yet stylistically close, which makes me quite fond of the wine. Flavors include rose petals and capsicum, wet wool and pistachios and some dried mint too. It's unusual."
