Fowles Wines 'Farm To Table' Victoria Sangiovese 2021 - 6 Bottles

Product Description

Winery Background

Fowles Wine is a family-run estate located in Victoria's Strathbogie Ranges. The Farm to Table series embodies a strong connection to the land, highlighting varietal clarity, sustainable farming, and wines made to complement honest, hearty food. 

Vineyards and Vintage Conditions

The 2021 Sangiovese hails from block 13 in the high-altitude Upton Run vineyard. It was harvested late on the final day of April to capture optimal ripeness while preserving its cool-climate freshness. 

Winemaking Process

After a gentle crush, the juice was fermented in stainless steel to preserve colour and primary fruit expression. The wine then matured for nine months in a balanced mix of old French and American oak, lending subtle vanilla spice without overpowering the fruit. 

Tasting Notes

The wine presents as vibrant cherry red, with aromas of dark cherry, floral and herbaceous notes, and hints of violet and rose petal. On the palate it’s medium-bodied, showing intense dark cherry and plum flavours, with dusty tannins, light spice, and excellent length.

Food Pairing

This Sangiovese pairs beautifully with rustic Italian fare, tomato-based sauces, grilled meats, mushroom dishes or anything that benefits from vibrancy and savoury lift.

Story Behind the Wine

Farm to Table Sangiovese showcases the adaptability of an Italian grape grown in Victorian cool-climate conditions. The 2021 vintage captures regional personality with structure and detail, bright, engaging, and ready to enjoy now or over the next few years.
