Description
Penfolds Cellar Reserve Sangiovese is a testament to the winery's pioneering spirit and their commitment to experimenting with varietals not native to Australia. Sangiovese, with its Italian roots, finds a surprising yet harmonious home in the Australian soil under Penfolds' expert care. This wine captures the essence of the varietal while embracing the unique characteristics of its new terroir.
Visually, the wine paints a canvas of vibrant ruby red with subtle hints of garnet at its edges, a telltale sign of Sangiovese's character. On the nose, an intricate array of aromas emerges: ripe red cherries and wild strawberries, characteristic of Sangiovese, are complemented by nuances of dried herbs, leather, and a hint of tobacco, reflecting its Australian upbringing.
The palate is met with a delightful harmony of flavors. Bright red fruits, especially sour cherry, dominate the profile, underscored by notes of earth, tea leaves, and a touch of spice. The wine's medium body is supported by a backbone of crisp acidity and fine, yet firm tannins, traits intrinsic to Sangiovese. The finish, elegant and slightly mineral, resonates with a balance between the old-world charm of the grape and the new-world expression of its Australian terroir.
Penfolds Cellar Reserve Sangiovese is a beautiful synthesis of tradition and innovation. It stands as a reminder of the limitless possibilities that arise when skilled winemakers meet diverse terroirs. Whether paired with traditional Italian dishes like spaghetti Bolognese or a hearty osso buco, this wine is sure to elevate the culinary experience, leaving an indelible mark on the palate and memory.
