A Series Montepulciano
2024
Rich, rustic & comforting. Ideal with an oversized bowl of pasta.
Description
Grown in the Wirrega vineyard in Mundulla, Limestone Coast. Fermented in 2 picking bins in John’s implement shed while the winery was being finished, this is one of the first wines made at Wangolina’s new winemaking facility. Hand-plunged and on skins for 19 days. Matured for 10 months in seasoned oak to allow some softening of the grape tannin without significant oak influence.
The Wangolina Montepulciano is a medium bodied, fleshy and fun red wine. Black cherry, black olive, and rosemary characters along with it’s signature dried oregano flavour and thyme complement the rustic Italianate tannins.
91 points – Lisa Cardelli – "An intense colour, leaving my glass happily stained, just as I’d expect from a good Montepulciano. Right away, a pungent, earthy aroma of oregano leaps from the rim, followed by sour cherries, blue plums, and a scar of tar that seals the deal. The palate is, as you’d suspect, dense and broody, with rustic tannins and a mix of sweet and sour elements that alternate in a dance across every taste bud. Drink now–2030"
