Fighting Gully Road 'Block 02' Sangiovese 2023
An exceptional expression of Beechworth Sangiovese from acclaimed viticulturist and winemaker Mark Walpole. Fighting Gully Road Block 02 2023 reveals vibrant sour cherry, wild strawberry, cranberry and dried herbs, with fine, structured tannins, bright acidity and a long, savoury finish.
Awarded 96 points by Jeni Port (Halliday Wine Companion), this outstanding single-block Sangiovese combines Italian-inspired elegance with remarkable Australian character, depth and cellaring potential.
Reviews "Welcome to a brand new world of sangiovese, where the grape in Australia takes on a rare status – one of power, intensity and grace. An underlying savouriness rests in the embrace of dark cherries, plum, blackberry, dried flowers, thyme, fennel seed, woody spices and a hint of pepper. The florals shine at this early stage, an enticement to get to know this wine more closely as it ages, and it most certainly will. Medium bodied and quite tight in sinewy, dry tannins, it has much more to reveal as it flexes its considerable charms." Jeni Port - Halliday Wine Companion
