2021 Hollows Sangiovese
The 2021 Hollows Sangiovese is made with fruit sourced from our Hollows vineyard on the northern slopes of Mount Langi Ghiran. This vineyard was established by Trevor Mast and was chosen for its protection from the cold south westerlies, its variety of aspects and high quality soils – very similar in fact to the estate’s original plantings. The 2021 Hollows Sangiovese displays plums, dark chocolate and a dusting of spice with a slight almond nuttiness on the finish.

Small open top fermenters. 100% Whole berry. A mixture of plunging and pump-overs were used during fermentation. An average of 7-10 days total time on skins. Natural yeasts were used and once ferment was complete, the wines were pressed to tank to settle overnight and then transferred to barrels to complete MLF. 12-month barrel maturation in used French barriques. |
