Our baby Sangrantino



I would like to introduce you to a new grape variety called Sangrantino. We planted a small vineyard of 1 hectre in 2009 of this grape variety on our Rowland Flat, Barossa Valley property. 2011 is the first year we have picked the grapes from these still small and delicate vines. We have managed to crush about 50 litres for our first vintage which we are very excited about. For a small batch like this we do everything by hand, picking, crushing & loving care.




I will continue to post photos of the Sangrantino as we slowly work through the winemaking process. The Sangrantino grape variety hails from Northern Italy and is a soft but a flavorsome grape variety.
