Sangiovese
With our Heron's Flight Sangiovese, we have discovered that the flavour profile of the wines is enormously influenced by three climatic elements: heat, dry/wet, and most importantly, the clarity of light.
When they meet in a certain relationship, the wines exhibit a purity of dark berry fruits illustrative of the very best of new world wines. When the fruit has this profile, we mature the wine in a combination of new and one-year-old French barriques for 12 months. The result is a dark, rich and sophisticated wine which has the ability to age for at least 10 years.
The colours are very deep, with flavours of jammy blackcurrant and prunes, mixed with black pepper and very ripe and soft tannins. Very concentrated.
And the wine is regularly reviewed as one of New Zealand’s top red wines.
