| Description: |
|
The 2003 vintage Rosemount Estate Diamond Varietal Sangiovese was the first bottling of this classic Italian grape and once again this vintages style complements the savoury flavours typical of this varietal. The wine was made to reflect the Tuscany region of Italy, where sangiovese is used to make medium bodied fruity styles known as Chianti. The fruit for this wine was sourced from selected vineyards throughout South Eastern Australia and one third of the parcels were selected to be put through barrel maturation in old oak to enhance depth and complexity. The remainder was fermented with gentle handling techniques of skins and wine to ensure palate softness and integrated tannins. Great care from the vineyard to the winery has produced a deep crimson coloured wine with ruby hues. A complex, intense nose with aromas of stewed plum, bright cherry is further enhanced by notes of spice and meat. A lively palate of sweet, ripe fruit flavours including cherries, plums, and a touch of quince, is complemented by spice notes. Medium bodied, juicy and inviting, the finish is long and stylish.
