Gentle Folk Sangiovese 2024

We love Sangiovese above all other grape varieties. There... we said it. Its just magic up here, puckering acidity, dusty tannins and flavour for days. It's Adelaide Hills sure, but its a clear comparison to the old world and as good as lunch wine gets we reckon, and who doesn't love a wine at lunch!
