Saltfleet Sangiovese 2025

Saltfleet Sangiovese 2025

$36.00

Sangiovese is one of Italy’s most widely planted varieties, its name said to derive from Jupiter, the Roman god of sky and thunder. Saltfleet’s expression is a little more delicate, grown in the unique soils of Sellicks Hill. Extended time on skins has softened the tannins while building depth and texture, revealing a medium-bodied wine layered with savoury red berries. Aromas of wild strawberry and ripe fig lead to a bright, fresh palate with lively acidity and fine, moderate tannins. Vibrant, savoury and effortlessly food-friendly, this is a wine made for the table.

Producer Profile

Locals of McLaren Vale, Jonny Cook and Kyle Egel met at high school, forming a vinous bond that has morphed into Saltfleet. The fruit’s local too, sourced from some of the finest sites in the region. The wines are handled minimally and gently, made in such tiny quantities (just a single barrel for most of the reds), the fruit has to be perfect and the winemaking on point. And so it is.

These are classically styled wines, a homage to McLaren Vale and a nod to the future with newer varietals to the region such as Fiano, Chenin Blanc and Touriga Nacional among the range. Richly fruited, succulent, vibrant, curvaceous and with great movement, Saltfleet are only a few vintages in and already making great wines with humble resources. No doubt about it, a star or two is born.
