Penfolds Cellar Reserve Sangiovese was first released in the 1990’s and is sourced exclusively from the Barossa Valley. Naturally fermented in the Penfolds Magill Estate vintage cellar in wax-lined open fermenters and matured in seasoned French oak barriques before being bottled without fining or filtration.
Sangiovese fruits, Sangiovese spices ... where to start?!Revealed without as much as a swirl - Christmas pudding with custard –roasted nuts, maraschino cherry, nutmeg... also caramelisedshallots.No oak to speak of? Barely.
A finely-woven texture etched with tingling Sangiovese acidity.Black olive puree/tapenade flavours propel fruits across palate.An inky impression, graphite, background oak and mouth-coating tannins... All linked.Barossa by birthright, Tuscany by inspiration, Cellar Reserve by Penfolds.
